自言行为纯正求耶和华救赎

26 大卫的诗。

耶和华啊,求你为我申冤,因我向来行事纯全,我又倚靠耶和华并不摇动。
耶和华啊,求你察看我,试验我,熬炼我的肺腑心肠。
因为你的慈爱常在我眼前,我也按你的真理而行。
我没有和虚谎人同坐,也不与瞒哄人的同群。
我恨恶恶人的会,必不与恶人同坐。
耶和华啊,我要洗手表明无辜,才环绕你的祭坛,
我好发称谢的声音,也要述说你一切奇妙的作为。
耶和华啊,我喜爱你所住的殿和你显荣耀的居所。
不要把我的灵魂和罪人一同除掉,不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉,
10 他们的手中有奸恶,右手满有贿赂。
11 至于我,却要行事纯全,求你救赎我,怜恤我。
12 我的脚站在平坦地方,在众会中我要称颂耶和华。

Psalm 26

Of David.

Vindicate me,(A) Lord,
    for I have led a blameless life;(B)
I have trusted(C) in the Lord
    and have not faltered.(D)
Test me,(E) Lord, and try me,
    examine my heart and my mind;(F)
for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(G)
    and have lived(H) in reliance on your faithfulness.(I)

I do not sit(J) with the deceitful,
    nor do I associate with hypocrites.(K)
I abhor(L) the assembly of evildoers
    and refuse to sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands in innocence,(M)
    and go about your altar, Lord,
proclaiming aloud your praise(N)
    and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(O)

Lord, I love(P) the house where you live,
    the place where your glory dwells.(Q)
Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
    my life with those who are bloodthirsty,(R)
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,(S)
    whose right hands are full of bribes.(T)
11 I lead a blameless life;
    deliver me(U) and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground;(V)
    in the great congregation(W) I will praise the Lord.

The Prayer of an Innocent Believer

Of David.

26 Lord, ·defend [vindicate] me because I have ·lived an innocent life [L walked in innocence; Job 1:1].
    I have ·trusted [confidence in] the Lord and never ·doubted [wavered; faltered].
Lord, try me and test me;
    look closely into my ·heart and mind [L kidneys and heart; C the seat of emotions and mind in Hebrew thought].
·I see your love [L Your loyalty/covenant love is before my eyes],
    and I ·live by your truth [walk in your truth/faithfulness].
I do not ·spend time [L sit] with ·liars [or worthless people],
    nor do I ·make friends [L go] with ·those who hide their sin [hypocrites].
I hate the ·company [assembly] of evil people,
    and I won’t sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands ·to show I am innocent [L in innocence],
    and I ·come to [L go around] your altar, Lord.
I raise my voice in ·praise [or thanks]
    and tell of all the ·miracles [wonderful things] you have done.
Lord, I love the ·Temple [L house] where you live,
    where your glory [C manifest presence] ·is [dwells].
Do not ·kill me [take me away] with those sinners
    or take my life with ·those murderers [the bloodthirsty; L men of blood].
10 ·Evil is [Schemes are] in their hands,
    and ·they do wrong for money [L their right hand is full of bribes].
11 But I have ·lived an innocent life [L walked in innocence; v. 1],
    so ·save [redeem; ransom] me and have mercy on me.
12 ·I stand in a safe place [L My feet stand on level ground].
    Lord, I ·praise [bless] you in the great ·meeting [assembly].
