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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live 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, Yahweh,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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