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. Defend me, O Lord, for my walk has been blameless; in the Lord have I trusted unswervingly:

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, Lord, and test me; test my heart and my mind.

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 your love is before my eyes, and your faithfulness governs my way.

4 我決不與虛偽的人同坐，也決不與欺詐的人合作；

I never sat down with the worthless, nor companied with dissemblers.

5 我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

I hate the assembly of knaves, I would never sit down with the wicked;

6 上主我要洗手表明無罪，我要走在你的祭壇周圍，

but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,

7 為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of all your wonders.

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 love your house, the place where your glory lives.

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。

Do not gather me up with sinners; slay me not with people of blood,

10 因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

whose hands are stained with villainy, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to 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 on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.
