Salmos 26:6-12

6 Me lavo las manos para declarar mi inocencia.
Vengo ante tu altar, oh Señor
,

7 entonando un cántico de gratitud,
y contando de todas tus maravillas.

8 Amo tu santuario, Señor
,
el lugar donde habita tu gloriosa presencia.

9 No permitas que sufra el destino de los pecadores
ni me condenes junto con los asesinos.

10 Tienen las manos sucias de maquinaciones malignas
y constantemente aceptan sobornos.

11 Pero yo no soy así; llevo una vida intachable;
por eso, rescátame y muéstrame tu misericordia.

12 Ahora piso tierra firme,
y en público alabaré al Señor
.

Salmos 26:6-12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalm of David. The occasion of this psalm seems to be the quarrel between Saul and David, the former listening to calumnies and reproaches cast upon the latter, and persecuting him in a violent manner. The argument of it is the same, in a great measure, with the seventh psalm, and is an appeal made to God, the Judge of the whole earth, by the psalmist, for his innocence and integrity; Theodoret thinks it was written by David when he fled from Saul.
