Psalms 26

1 [By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.

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

2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;

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

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

10 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

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