< Psalms 26 >
1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
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, O LORD, and try me; test 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 have walked in 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 men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.
我決不與虛偽的人同坐,也決不與欺詐的人合作;
5 I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
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; so will I 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 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
為能高聲向你稱揚讚頌,傳述你的一切奇妙化工。
8 LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
上主,我喜愛你所住的殿堂,就是你那榮耀寄居的地方。
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with 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 is craftiness, and their right hand is full of 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 will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
我卻一向行動無辜,求你救我,求你憐恤。
12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
我的腳站立於平坦大路,在集會中我要讚頌上主。
