Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

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; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

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

3 For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your 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, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

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

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

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

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:

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

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

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

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.

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

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, 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, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

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

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.

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