Psalms 26

1 A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

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

2 Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

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

3 For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

4 I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

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

5 I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

6 I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

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

7 That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

8 O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

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

9 Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

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

10 In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

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

12 My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.

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