Psalmowo 26

1 David ƒa ha. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam, elabena menɔ agbe si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o. Meɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, nyemeʋã kpɔ gbeɖe o.

BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH, I do not slide.

2 O! Yehowa, lolom, dom kpɔ; eye nàdzro nye dzi kple tamesusu hã me,

Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, My reins and my heart [are] purified,

3 elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ le ŋkunye me ɖaa, eye mezɔna le wò nyateƒe la me ɣe sia ɣi.

For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, And I have habitually walked in Your truth.

4 Nyemanɔ anyi ɖe ameblelawo dome, alo ade ha kple alakpanuwɔlawo o.

I have not sat with vain men, And I do not enter with pretenders.

5 Metsri ame tovowo ƒe habɔbɔ, eye megbe be nyemanɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dome o.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And I do not sit with the wicked.

6 Meklɔ nye asiwo le fɔmaɖimaɖi me, eye meƒo xlã wò vɔsamlekpui, O! Yehowa,

I wash my hands in innocence, And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.

7 hele wò kafukafuha dzim kple ɣli le nukudɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la xlẽm fia.

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

8 O! Yehowa, melɔ̃ aƒe si me nèle, afi si wò ŋutikɔkɔe le.

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.

9 Mègatsɔ nye luʋɔ kpe ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ŋuti kple nye agbe kpe ɖe hlɔ̃dolawo ŋuti,

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

10 ame siwo ƒe asi me ɖoɖo vɔ̃ɖiwo le, eye woƒe nuɖusime yɔ fũu kple zãnuxɔxɔ o.

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

11 Ke nye la, menɔ agbe si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o, eya ta ɖem, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam.

And I walk in my integrity, Redeem me, and favor me.

12 Nye afɔ le sɔsɔeƒe. Makafu Yehowa le takpekpe gã la me.

My foot has stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless YHWH!
