詩篇 26

1 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。

By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

2 耶和華啊，求你察看我，試驗我， 熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 因為你的慈愛常在我眼前， 我也按你的真理而行。

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4 我沒有和虛謊人同坐， 也不與瞞哄人的同群。

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 我恨惡惡人的會， 必不與惡人同坐。

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜， 才環繞你的祭壇；

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

7 我好發稱謝的聲音， 也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

8 耶和華啊，我喜愛你所住的殿 和你顯榮耀的居所。

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9 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。

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

10 他們的手中有奸惡， 右手滿有賄賂。

in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

11 至於我，卻要行事純全； 求你救贖我，憐恤我！

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 我的腳站在平坦地方； 在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華！

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
