Psalms 26

1 BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH, I do 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 Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, My reins and my heart [are] purified,

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

3 For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, And I have habitually walked in Your truth.

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

4 I have not sat with vain men, And I do not enter with pretenders.

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

5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And I do not sit with the wicked.

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

6 I wash my hands in innocence, And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.

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

7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Your wonders.

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

8 YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.

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

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, And my life with men of blood,

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

10 In whose hand [is] a wicked scheme, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

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

11 And I walk in my integrity, Redeem me, and favor me.

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

12 My foot has stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless YHWH!

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