第 26 篇
義人的祈求
大衛的詩。
1耶和華啊，求你為我伸冤，
因為我行為純全，
毫不動搖地信靠你。
2耶和華啊，求你察驗我，
試煉我，鑒察我的心思意念。
3因為我銘記你的慈愛，
我行在你的真理中。
4我沒有與詭詐者為伍，
沒有跟虛偽之人同流。
5我憎恨奸惡之輩，
不願與惡人交往。
6耶和華啊，我洗手表明清白，
再走到你的壇前，
7高唱感恩之歌，
述說你的一切奇妙作為。
8耶和華啊，我愛你的殿，
你榮耀充滿的地方。
9別把我的靈魂和罪人同毀，
別把我的性命與嗜血之徒同滅。
10他們滿腹奸計，收受賄賂。
11但我行為純全，
求你施恩拯救我。
12我站在平安之地，
我要在眾人面前讚美耶和華。
Psalm 26
Of David.
1Vindicate me, Lord,
for I have led a blameless life;
I have trusted in the Lord
and have not faltered.
2Test me, Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;
3for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love
and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
4I do not sit with the deceitful,
nor do I associate with hypocrites.
5I abhor the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence,
and go about your altar, Lord,
7proclaiming aloud your praise
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8Lord, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
10in whose hands are wicked schemes,
whose right hands are full of bribes.
11I lead a blameless life;
deliver me and be merciful to me.
12My feet stand on level ground;
in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.
