Psalms 26

1 “A psalm of David.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

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 prove me; Try 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 ever before my eyes, And I walk 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 sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company 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 assembly of evil-doers, And do 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 wash my hands in innocence. And go around 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 utter the voice of thanksgiving, 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 O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor 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 breath 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 mischief, And whose right hands are 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 walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!

我卻一向行動無辜，求你救我，求你憐恤。

12 My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation 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。
