Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

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 Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

耶和華啊，求你察看我，試驗我， 熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

因為你的慈愛常在我眼前， 我也按你的真理而行。

4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

我沒有和虛謊人同坐， 也不與瞞哄人的同群。

5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

我恨惡惡人的會， 必不與惡人同坐。

6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜， 才環繞你的祭壇；

7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

我好發稱謝的聲音， 也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。

8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

耶和華啊，我喜愛你所住的殿 和你顯榮耀的居所。

9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

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 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

他們的手中有奸惡， 右手滿有賄賂。

11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

至於我，卻要行事純全； 求你救贖我，憐恤我！

12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.

我的腳站在平坦地方； 在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華！
