詩篇 26
1 耶和華啊，求你為我申冤，因我向來行事純全，我又倚靠耶和華並不搖動。
2 耶和華啊，求你察看我，試驗我，熬煉我的肺腑心腸。
3 因為你的慈愛常在我眼前，我也按你的真理而行。
4 我沒有和虛謊人同坐，也不與瞞哄人的同群。
5 我恨惡惡人的會，必不與惡人同坐。
6 耶和華啊，我要洗手表明無辜，才環繞你的祭壇，
7 我好發稱謝的聲音，也要述說你一切奇妙的作為。
8 耶和華啊，我喜愛你所住的殿和你顯榮耀的居所。
9 不要把我的靈魂和罪人一同除掉，不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉，
10 他們的手中有奸惡，右手滿有賄賂。
11 至於我，卻要行事純全，求你救贖我，憐恤我。
12 我的腳站在平坦地方，在眾會中我要稱頌耶和華。
Psalm 26
A Michtam of David.
A Michtam of David.
1 Vindicate me, O Lord,For I have walked in my integrity.I have also trusted
in the Lord;I shall not slip.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me;Try my mind and my heart.
3 For Your lovingkindness is before
my eyes,And I have walked in Your truth.
4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals,Nor will
I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have 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, I have loved the habitation of Your house,And
the place where Your glory dwells.
9 Do 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 bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my
integrity;Redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 My foot stands in an even place;In the
congregations I will bless the Lord.

Psalm 26 reveals us that the source of David's
joy and gratitude comes from his inner purity and his pursuit of God's presence
and God's temple. True gratitude is not decided by the situation outside, but
rather out of our decision inside. Despite the fact that we usually only feel
grateful when things work out fine, David let us see true gratification starts
from an inside transformation.
David didn't spell it
out for what specifically he was grateful for, but he led us to the source of
being grateful - when living a holy life in Christ, our life will be full of
thanksgivings naturally.
這首詩的核心讓我們看見大衛流露出一個人心裏純正，專心以神的同在和祂的殿為樂的情懷，而這成爲了他喜樂與感恩的來源。感恩是出於内心的抉擇，而不是由於外在環境的影響。我們的感恩常常從因著外面的事物，而大衛卻讓我們看見感恩是由内心的改變開始。
詩人雖然沒有告訴我們『感恩』的形式和内容，卻是引領我們到那源頭，當我們以聖潔常在主的面前，必然活出感恩的生活。
