How to indent a table?

In my documents I use quite a few tables that have text before and afterwards. I would like to indent the tables so they don't start left-aligned with the text. For example it should look like that:

text text text text text text
text text text text text text
text text text text text text
       table--------------
       table--------------
       table--------------
text text text text text text
text text text text text text
       table--------------
       table--------------
text text text text text text
text text text text text text

Can you please explain to me how I can achieve that?

How could I achieve that the table itself is right-aligned (not the text in the table but the whole table)?

Many thanks in advance,
Dirk.

That works fine. Thank you very much for your answer.
