PSALMS 诗篇026

PSALM¹ 26
1Vindicate me, O Lord , for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2Test me, O Lord , and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
3for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
4I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort² with hypocrites;
5I abhor³ the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands in innocence⁴, and go about your altar, O Lord ,
7proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8I love the house where you live, O Lord , the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes⁵.
11But I lead a blameless life; redeem⁶ me and be merciful to me.
12My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the Lord .
