詩篇 26

1 上主求你替我主持正義，因我行動無辜，我曾毫不猶豫地全心依賴了上主。

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

2 上主，你儘管對我試驗，對我查考，你儘管對我的五內和心臟探討；

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

3 原來你的受常擺在我眼前，我常遵照你的真理行走盤桓。

For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth.

4 我決不與虛偽的人同坐，也決不與欺詐的人合作；

I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

5 我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

6 上主我要洗手表明無罪，我要走在你的祭壇周圍，

I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:

7 為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.

8 上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

9 求你不要把我的靈魂和罪人們一起收去；求你不要把我的生命與流血者一起剷除。

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

10 因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

12 我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。

My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.
