< Psalms 26 >
1 “Of David.” Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.
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 Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify 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 kindness is before my 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, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].
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 assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.
我常痛恨敗類的集會,我也決不與惡人同席。
6 I will wash in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy 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 publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.
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 site 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 Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;
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 wicked devices, and whose 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 my 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 on an even place: in assemblies 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。
