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。

Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

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；

Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

3 原來你的受常擺在我眼前，我常遵照你的真理行走盤桓。

I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.

4 我決不與虛偽的人同坐，也決不與欺詐的人合作；

I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.

5 我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.

6 上主我要洗手表明無罪，我要走在你的祭壇周圍，

Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,

7 為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

8 上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.

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 get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

10 因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.

11 我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.

12 我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。

I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
