Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

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

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

Sɔ me hwɛ, Awurade, hwehwɛ me koma ne mʼadwene mu.

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

Wʼadɔe wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnantew wo nokware mu.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

Me ne nnaadaafo ntena na me ne nyaatwomfo nso nni hwee yɛ.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

Mikyi nnebɔneyɛfo guabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumɔyɛfo tena.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

Mehohoro me nsa wɔ bembu mu, na mekɔ wʼafɔremuka ho ahyia, Awurade,

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Mʼani gye ofi a wote mu ho, Awurade, faako a wʼanuonyam wɔ no.

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

Mfa me kra nka nnebɔneyɛfo de ho nkɔ, ne me nkwa nka mogyapɛfo de ho,

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

wɔn a amumɔyɛ nhyehyɛe wɔ wɔn nsam na adanmude ayɛ wɔn nsa nifa ma.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

Nanso mebɔ ɔbra a ho tew; hu me mmɔbɔ na gye me nkwa.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

Mʼanan sisi asase tamaa so; na guabɔ kɛse ase na mɛkamfo Awurade.
