Psalms 26

1 [By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD 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, LORD, 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, LORD;

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 works.

na mepae mu ka wʼayeyi na meka wʼanwonwade nyinaa.

8 LORD, 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 Do not 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 the LORD.

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