Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

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。

2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

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；

3 For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth.

原來你的受常擺在我眼前，我常遵照你的真理行走盤桓。

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

我決不與虛偽的人同坐，也決不與欺詐的人合作；

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:

上主我要洗手表明無罪，我要走在你的祭壇周圍，

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.

為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌，傳述你的一切奇妙化工。

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

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。

10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.

我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。
