Psalms 26

1 By David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

Dawid dwom. Bu me bem, Awurade, efisɛ, mabɔ bra a asɛm nni ho: mede me ho too Awurade so na manhinhim.

2 Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

Wʼadɔe wɔ mʼanim daa na mɛnantew wo nokware mu.

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Mikyi nnebɔneyɛfo guabɔ na mempɛ sɛ me ne amumɔyɛfo tena.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

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

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

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

10 in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

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