Psalms 26

1 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

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 Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

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

3 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

Wʼadɔe wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnantew wo nokware mu.

4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

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

5 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

Mikyi nnebɔneyɛfo guabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumɔyɛfo tena.

6 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

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

7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

9 Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

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

10 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

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

11 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

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

12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!

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