Psalms 26

1 David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.

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

2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —

Sɔ me hwɛ, Awurade, hwehwɛ me koma ne mʼadwene mu.

3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

Wʼadɔe wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnantew wo nokware mu.

4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

Me ne nnaadaafo ntena na me ne nyaatwomfo nso nni hwee yɛ.

5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

Mikyi nnebɔneyɛfo guabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumɔyɛfo tena.

6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;

Mehohoro me nsa wɔ bembu mu, na mekɔ wʼafɔremuka ho ahyia, Awurade,

7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!

Mʼani gye ofi a wote mu ho, Awurade, faako a wʼanuonyam wɔ no.

9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

Mfa me kra nka nnebɔneyɛfo de ho nkɔ, ne me nkwa nka mogyapɛfo de ho,

10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.

wɔn a amumɔyɛ nhyehyɛe wɔ wɔn nsam na adanmude ayɛ wɔn nsa nifa ma.

11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

Nanso mebɔ ɔbra a ho tew; hu me mmɔbɔ na gye me nkwa.

12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.

Mʼanan sisi asase tamaa so; na guabɔ kɛse ase na mɛkamfo Awurade.
