Psalms 26

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

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 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

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

3 For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

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

5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

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

6 I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

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

7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

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

10 In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

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

11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

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

12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

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