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 mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

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；

Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test 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 have walked in 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 men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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; so will I 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。

That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, 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。

LORD, I love the habitation 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。

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

10 因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
