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.

`To Dauid. Lord, deme thou me, for Y entride in myn innocens; and Y hopynge in the Lord schal not be made vnstidfast.

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

Lord, preue thou me, and asaie me; brenne thou my reynes, and myn herte.

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

For whi thi merci is bifor myn iyen; and Y pleside in thi treuthe.

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

I sat not with the counsel of vanyte; and Y schal not entre with men doynge wickid thingis.

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

I hatide the chirche of yuele men; and Y schal not sitte with wickid men.

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

I schal waische myn hondis among innocentis; and, Lord, Y schal cumpasse thin auter.

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

That Y here the vois of heriyng; and that Y telle out alle thi merueils.

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

Lord, Y haue loued the fairnesse of thin hows; and the place of the dwellyng of thi glorie.

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

God, leese thou not my soule with vnfeithful men; and my lijf with men of bloodis.

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

In whose hondis wyckidnessis ben; the riythond of hem is fillid with yiftis.

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

But Y entride in myn innocens; ayenbie thou me, and haue merci on me.

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

Mi foot stood in riytfulnesse; Lord, Y schal blesse thee in chirchis.
