Psalms 26

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

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

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in 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 deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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