詩篇
CH. 26
1
〔大衛的詩。〕耶和華阿、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。

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2
耶和華阿、求你察看我、試驗我、熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine 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 love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
4
我沒有和虛謊人同坐.也不與瞞哄人的同群。

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
5
我恨惡惡人的會、必不與惡人同坐。

I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6
耶和華阿、我要洗手表明無辜、纔環繞你的祭壇.

I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
7
我好發稱謝的聲音.也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。

proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8
耶和華阿、我喜愛你所住的殿、和你顯榮耀的居所。

I love the house where you live, O LORD, 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。

Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
10
他們的手中有奸惡、右手滿有賄賂。

in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11
至於我、卻要行事純全.求你救贖我、憐恤我。

But I lead a blameless life; 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 feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.
