Psalm 26
New Century Version
The Prayer of an Innocent Believer
Of David.
26 Lord, defend me because I have lived an innocent life.
I have trusted the Lord and never doubted.
2 Lord, try me and test me;
look closely into my heart and mind.
3 I see your love,
and I live by your truth.
4 I do not spend time with liars,
nor do I make friends with those who hide their sin.
5 I hate the company of evil people,
and I won’t sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands to show I am innocent,
and I come to your altar, Lord.
7 I raise my voice in praise
and tell of all the miracles you have done.
8 Lord, I love the Temple where you live,
where your glory is.
9 Do not kill me with those sinners
or take my life with those murderers.
10 Evil is in their hands,
and they do wrong for money.
11 But I have lived an innocent life,
so save me and have mercy on me.
12 I stand in a safe place.
Lord, I praise you in the great meeting.
诗篇 26
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
自言行为纯正求耶和华救赎
26 大卫的诗。
1 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。
2 耶和华啊，求你察看我，试验我，熬炼我的肺腑心肠。
3 因为你的慈爱常在我眼前，我也按你的真理而行。
4 我没有和虚谎人同坐，也不与瞒哄人的同群。
5 我恨恶恶人的会，必不与恶人同坐。
6 耶和华啊，我要洗手表明无辜，才环绕你的祭坛，
7 我好发称谢的声音，也要述说你一切奇妙的作为。
8 耶和华啊，我喜爱你所住的殿和你显荣耀的居所。
9 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
New King James Version
A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption
A Psalm of David.
26 Vindicate (A)me, O Lord,
For I have (B)walked in my integrity.
(C)I have also trusted in the Lord;
I shall not slip.
2 (D)Examine me, O Lord, and [a]prove me;
Try my mind and my heart.
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And (E)I have walked in Your truth.
4 I have not (F)sat with idolatrous mortals,
Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have (G)hated the assembly of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8 Lord, (H)I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place [b]where Your glory dwells.
9 (I)Do[c] not gather my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (J)bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 (K)My foot stands in an even place;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
