Psalms 26

1 Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

David ƒa ha. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam, elabena menɔ agbe si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o. Meɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, nyemeʋã kpɔ gbeɖe o.

2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

O! Yehowa, lolom, dom kpɔ; eye nàdzro nye dzi kple tamesusu hã me,

3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ le ŋkunye me ɖaa, eye mezɔna le wò nyateƒe la me ɣe sia ɣi.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

Nyemanɔ anyi ɖe ameblelawo dome, alo ade ha kple alakpanuwɔlawo o.

5 I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

Metsri ame tovowo ƒe habɔbɔ, eye megbe be nyemanɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dome o.

6 I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

Meklɔ nye asiwo le fɔmaɖimaɖi me, eye meƒo xlã wò vɔsamlekpui, O! Yehowa,

7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

hele wò kafukafuha dzim kple ɣli le nukudɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la xlẽm fia.

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

O! Yehowa, melɔ̃ aƒe si me nèle, afi si wò ŋutikɔkɔe le.

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

Mègatsɔ nye luʋɔ kpe ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ŋuti kple nye agbe kpe ɖe hlɔ̃dolawo ŋuti,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

ame siwo ƒe asi me ɖoɖo vɔ̃ɖiwo le, eye woƒe nuɖusime yɔ fũu kple zãnuxɔxɔ o.

11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

Ke nye la, menɔ agbe si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o, eya ta ɖem, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam.

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Nye afɔ le sɔsɔeƒe. Makafu Yehowa le takpekpe gã la me.
