Psalms 26

1 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.

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 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament 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 your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your 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 emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

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 the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

我常痛恨敗類的集會，我也決不與惡人同席。

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

上主我要洗手表明無罪，我要走在你的祭壇周圍，

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

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 your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

上主，我喜愛你所住的殿堂，就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。

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

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: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

因為他們的手中盡是罪污，他們的右手滿是賄賂；

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

我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

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

我的腳站立於平坦大路，在集會中我要讚頌上主。
