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。

David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.

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；

Try me, O Yahweh, and prove 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 lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

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 deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

5 我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I 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 bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;

7 為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

8 上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation 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。

Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

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 a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

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 a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
