诗篇 26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
无辜人祈求 神伸冤
大卫的诗。
26 耶和华啊!求你为我伸冤,
因为我向来行事正直;
我倚靠耶和华,并不动摇。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)
2 耶和华啊!求你试验我,鉴察我,
熬炼我的肺腑心肠。
3 因为你的慈爱常在我的眼前,
我行事为人都按着你的真理。
4 我决不与奸诈的人同坐,
也不和虚伪的人来往。
5 我恨恶恶人的聚会,
也不与作恶的同坐。
6 耶和华啊!我要洗手表明无辜,
才来绕着你的祭坛行走;
7 好使我发出称谢的声音,
述说你一切奇妙的作为。
8 耶和华啊!我喜爱你住宿的殿,
你荣耀居住的地方。
9 求你不要把我的性命和罪人一同除掉,
也不要把我的生命和流人血的人一起消灭。
10 他们的手中有恶计,
他们的右手充满贿赂。
11 至于我,我要按正直行事为人,
求你救赎我,恩待我。
12 我的脚站在平坦的地方,
我要在众会中称颂耶和华。
Psalm 26
Easy-to-Read Version
A song of David.
26 Lord, you be the judge and prove that I have lived a pure life.
I have depended on you, Lord, to keep me from falling.
2 Look closely at me, Lord, and test me.
Judge my deepest thoughts and emotions.
3 I always remember your faithful love.
I depend on your faithfulness.
4 I don’t run around with troublemakers.
I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
5 I hate being around evil people.
I refuse to join those gangs of crooks.
6 Lord, I wash my hands to make myself pure,
so that I can come to your altar.
7 I sing a song to give you thanks,
and I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.
8 Lord, I love the house[a] where you live,
the place where your glory is.
9 Lord, don’t treat me like one of those sinners.
Don’t kill me with those murderers.
10 They are guilty of cheating people.
They take bribes to do wrong.
11 But I am innocent,
so be kind to me and save me.
12 I am safe from all danger
as I stand here praising you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

Psalm 26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 26[a]
Prayer of Innocence
1 Of David.
I
Judge me, Lord!
For I have walked in my integrity.(A)
In the Lord I trust;
I do not falter.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me;
search my heart and mind.(B)
3 Your mercy is before my eyes;
I walk guided by your faithfulness.(C)
II
4 I do not sit with worthless men,
nor with hypocrites do I mingle.
5 I hate an evil assembly;
with the wicked I do not sit.
6 I will wash my hands[b] in innocence(D)
so that I may process around your altar, Lord,
7 To hear the sound of thanksgiving,
and recount all your wondrous deeds.
8 Lord, I love the refuge of your house,
the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.(E)
III
9 Do not take me away with sinners,
nor my life with the men of blood,(F)
10 In whose hands there is a plot,
their right hands full of bribery.
11 But I walk in my integrity;(G)
redeem me, be gracious to me!(H)
12 My foot stands on level ground;[c]
in assemblies I will bless the Lord.(I)
Footnotes
- Psalm 26 Like a priest washing before approaching the altar (Ex 30:17–21), the psalmist seeks God’s protection upon entering the Temple. Ps 26:1–3, matched by Ps 26:11–12, remind God of past integrity while asking for purification; Ps 26:4–5, matched by Ps 26:9–10, pray for inclusion among the just; Ps 26:6–8, the center of the poem, express the joy in God at the heart of all ritual.
- 26:6 I will wash my hands: the washing of hands was a liturgical act (Ex 30:19, 21; 40:31–32), symbolic of inner as well as outer cleanness, cf. Is 1:16.
- 26:12 On level ground: in safety, where there is no danger of tripping and falling. In assemblies: at the Temple. Having walked around the altar, the symbol of God’s presence, the psalmist blesses God.

Of David.
1 Vindicate me,(A) Lord,
for I have led a blameless life;(B)
I have trusted(C) in the Lord
and have not faltered.(D)
2 Test me,(E) Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;(F)
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(G)
and have lived(H) in reliance on your faithfulness.(I)
4 I do not sit(J) with the deceitful,
nor do I associate with hypocrites.(K)
5 I abhor(L) the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence,(M)
and go about your altar, Lord,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise(N)
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(O)
8 Lord, I love(P) the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.(Q)

deliver me(U) and be merciful to me.
