詩篇 26

1 大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，求你為我伸冤， 因我向來行事純全； 我又倚靠耶和華，並不搖動。

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.

2 耶和華啊，求你察看我，試驗我， 熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.

3 因為你的慈愛常在我眼前， 我也按你的真理而行。

For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.

4 我沒有和虛謊人同坐， 也不與瞞哄人的同群。

I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

5 我恨惡惡人的會， 必不與惡人同坐。

I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

6 耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜， 才環繞你的祭壇；

I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,

7 我好發稱謝的聲音， 也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。

so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.

8 耶和華啊，我喜愛你所住的殿 和你顯榮耀的居所。

O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

9 不要把我的靈魂和罪人一同除掉； 不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉。

O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,

10 他們的手中有奸惡， 右手滿有賄賂。

in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

11 至於我，卻要行事純全； 求你救贖我，憐恤我！

But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12 我的腳站在平坦地方； 在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華！

My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
