詩 篇 026
Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
26 （ 大 卫 的 诗 。 ） 耶 和 华 啊 ， 求 你 为 我 伸 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 於 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 026
New English Translation
Psalm 26[a]
By David.
26 Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have integrity,[b]
and I trust in the Lord without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me.
Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives.[c]
3 For I am ever aware of your faithfulness,[d]
and your loyalty continually motivates me.[e]
4 I do not associate[f] with deceitful men,
or consort[g] with those who are dishonest.[h]
5 I hate the mob[i] of evil men,
and do not associate[j] with the wicked.
6 I maintain a pure lifestyle,[k]
so I can appear before your altar,[l] O Lord,
7 to give you thanks,[m]
and to tell about all your amazing deeds.[n]
8 O Lord, I love the temple where you live,[o]
the place where your splendor is revealed.[p]
9 Do not sweep me away[q] with sinners,
or execute me along with violent people,[r]
10 who are always ready to do wrong[s]
or offer a bribe.[t]
11 But I have integrity.[u]
Rescue me[v] and have mercy on me!
12 I am safe,[w]
and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.
