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

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

Wʼadɔeɛ wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu.

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

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

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

Mekyiri nnebɔneyɛfoɔ dwabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumuyɛfoɔ tena.

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

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

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

na mepae mu ka wʼayɛyie na meka wʼanwanwadeɛ nyinaa.

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

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

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

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

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

wɔn a amumuyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ wɔ wɔn nsam na adanmudeɛ ayɛ wɔn nsa nifa ma.

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

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

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

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