Psalms 26

1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in Jehovah without wavering.

Dawid dwom. Bu me bem, Ao Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, mabɔ bra a asɛm nni ho: mede me ho too Awurade so na manhinhim.

2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

Sɔ me hwɛ, Ao Awurade, hwehwɛ mʼakoma ne mʼadwene mu.

3 For thy loving kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.

Me ne nnaadaafoɔ ntena na me ne nyaatwomfoɔ nso nni hwee yɛ.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

Mehohoro me nsa wɔ bembuo mu, na makɔ wʼafɔrebukyia ho ahyia, Ao Awurade,

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells.

Mʼani gye efie a wote mu ho, Ao Awurade, baabi a wʼanimuonyam wɔ no.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,

Mfa me kra nka nnebɔneyɛfoɔ deɛ ho nkɔ. Mfa me nkwa nka mogyapɛfoɔ deɛ ho,

10 in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

wɔn a amumuyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ wɔ wɔn nsam na adanmudeɛ ayɛ wɔn nsa nifa ma.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Nanso mebɔ ɔbra a ɛho teɛ. Hu me mmɔbɔ na gye me nkwa.

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.

Me nan sisi asase tamaa so; na dwabɔ akɛseɛ ase na mɛkamfo Awurade.
