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.

詩篇 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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。
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。
