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。

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

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; test my heart and my mind.

3 因為你的慈愛常在我眼前， 我也按你的真理而行。

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

4 我沒有和虛謊人同坐， 也不與瞞哄人的同群。

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

5 我恨惡惡人的會， 必不與惡人同坐。

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

6 耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜， 才環繞你的祭壇；

but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round 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。

singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of 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 love your house, the place where your glory lives.

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。

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

10 他們的手中有奸惡， 右手滿有賄賂。

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

11 至於我，卻要行事純全； 求你救贖我，憐恤我！

But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me.

12 我的腳站在平坦地方； 在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華！

My foot stands on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.
