1大衛的詩。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《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題)
1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.
2耶和華啊!求你試驗我,鑒察我,熬煉我的肺腑心腸。
2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
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。
3For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4我決不與奸詐的人同坐,也不和虛偽的人來往。
4I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5我恨惡惡人的聚會,也不與作惡的同坐。
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6耶和華啊!我要洗手表明無辜,才來繞著你的祭壇行走;
6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;
7好使我發出稱謝的聲音,述說你一切奇妙的作為。
7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8耶和華啊!我喜愛你住宿的殿,你榮耀居住的地方。
8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
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。
9Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10他們的手中有惡計,他們的右手充滿賄賂。
10in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
11至於我,我要按正直行事為人,求你救贖我,恩待我。
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12我的腳站在平坦的地方,我要在眾會中稱頌耶和華。
12My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
