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。

Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

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; burn 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 my 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: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

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 the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

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 among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7 為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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。

Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: 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: their right hand is filled with gifts.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12 我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。

My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
