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, Ao Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, 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, Ao Awurade, hwehwɛ mʼakoma ne mʼadwene mu.

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

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

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

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

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

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

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

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

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

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

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

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

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

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

10 in whose hands there is a plot, and whose 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 integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.

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

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

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