Psalm 26
New American Standard Bible

Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.

A Psalm of David.

26 [a](A)Vindicate me, Lord, for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C)trusted in the Lord [b](D)without wavering.
2 (E)Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test;
(F)Refine my [c]mind and my heart.
3 For Your [d](G)goodness is before my eyes,
And I have (H)walked in Your truth.
4 I do not (I)sit with [e]deceitful people,
Nor will I go with [f](J)pretenders.
5 I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will (L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around (M)Your altar, Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of (N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your [g]wonders.

8 Lord, I (O)love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place [h]where Your (P)glory remains.
9 (Q)Do not [i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (R)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (T)bribes.
11 But as for me, I will (U)walk in my integrity;
(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (W)My foot stands on (X)level ground;
In the (Y)congregations I will bless the Lord.

Psalm 26
Good News Translation

The Prayer of a Good Person[a]

26 Declare me innocent, O Lord,
    because I do what is right
    and trust you completely.
2 Examine me and test me, Lord;
    judge my desires and thoughts.
3 Your constant love is my guide;
    your faithfulness always leads me.[b]

4 I do not keep company with worthless people;
    I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
5 I hate the company of the evil
    and avoid the wicked.

6 Lord, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent
    and march in worship around your altar.
7 I sing a hymn of thanksgiving
    and tell of all your wonderful deeds.

8 I love the house where you live, O Lord,
    the place where your glory dwells.
9 Do not destroy me with the sinners;
    spare me from the fate of murderers—
10     those who do evil all the time
    and are always ready to take bribes.

11 As for me, I do what is right;
    be merciful to me and save me!

12 I am safe from all dangers;
    in the assembly of his people I praise the Lord.

诗篇 26
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

無辜人祈求　神伸冤

大衛的詩。

26 耶和華啊！求你為我伸冤，

因為我向來行事正直；

我倚靠耶和華，並不動搖。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）

2 耶和華啊！求你試驗我，鑒察我，

熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

3 因為你的慈愛常在我的眼前，

我行事為人都按著你的真理。

4 我決不與奸詐的人同坐，

也不和虛偽的人來往。

5 我恨惡惡人的聚會，

也不與作惡的同坐。

6 耶和華啊！我要洗手表明無辜，

才來繞著你的祭壇行走；

7 好使我發出稱謝的聲音，

述說你一切奇妙的作為。

8 耶和華啊！我喜愛你住宿的殿，

你榮耀居住的地方。

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滅。

10 他們的手中有惡計，

他們的右手充滿賄賂。

11 至於我，我要按正直行事為人，

求你救贖我，恩待我。

12 我的腳站在平坦的地方，

我要在眾會中稱頌耶和華。
