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。

義人的祈求

大衛的詩。

26 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。
耶和華啊,求你察驗我,
試煉我,鑒察我的心思意念。
因為我銘記你的慈愛,
我行在你的真理中。
我沒有與詭詐者為伍,
沒有跟虛偽之人同流。
我憎恨奸惡之輩,
不願與惡人交往。
耶和華啊,我洗手表明清白,
再走到你的壇前,
高唱感恩之歌,
述說你的一切奇妙作為。
耶和華啊,我愛你的殿,
你榮耀充滿的地方。
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.

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.

26 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

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.
(D)Examine me, O Lord, and [a]prove me;
Try my mind and my heart.
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And (E)I have walked in Your truth.
I have not (F)sat with idolatrous mortals,
Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
I have (G)hated the assembly of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
Lord, (H)I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place [b]where Your glory dwells.

(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.
