Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the 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, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ le ŋkunye me ɖaa, eye mezɔna le wò nyateƒe la me ɣe sia ɣi.

4 I have not sat with vain persons; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

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

5 I hate the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O 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 thy wondrous works.

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

8 LORD, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood:

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

10 In whose hands is mischief, and 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 mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

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