Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.

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

2 Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!

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

3 For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

Wʼadɔe wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnantew wo nokware mu.

4 I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.

Mikyi nnebɔneyɛfo guabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumɔyɛfo tena.

6 I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,

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

7 to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!

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

9 Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,

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

10 in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.

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

12 My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!

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