< Psalms 26 >
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
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。
2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.
耶和華啊,求你察看我,試驗我, 熬煉我的肺腑心腸。
3 For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
因為你的慈愛常在我眼前, 我也按你的真理而行。
4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
我沒有和虛謊人同坐, 也不與瞞哄人的同群。
5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.
我恨惡惡人的會, 必不與惡人同坐。
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
耶和華啊,我要洗手表明無辜, 才環繞你的祭壇;
7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
我好發稱謝的聲音, 也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。
8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
耶和華啊,我喜愛你所住的殿 和你顯榮耀的居所。
9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:
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。
10 In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
他們的手中有奸惡, 右手滿有賄賂。
11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
至於我,卻要行事純全; 求你救贖我,憐恤我!
12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
我的腳站在平坦地方; 在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華!
