Psalms 130

1 A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

Mɔzɔha. O! Yehowa, mele koko ƒom na wò tso nye dzi me ke.

2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

O! Aƒetɔ, ɖo to nye gbe. Wò to nenɔ te nàse nye nublanuiɣli.

3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

O! Yehowa, ne àlé amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖe agbalẽ me ada ɖi la, O! Aƒetɔ, ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te?

4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

Ke wò la, tsɔtsɔke le gbɔwò, eya ta wovɔ̃a wò ɖo.

5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

Mele Yehowa ƒe asinu kpɔm, nye luʋɔ le lalam, eye metsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe eƒe nya dzi.

6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

Nye luʋɔ le lalam na Aƒetɔ la wu ale si zãɖialawo kpɔa mɔ na ŋu ƒe keke; mebe wu ale si zãɖialawo kpɔa mɔ na ŋu ƒe keke.

7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

O! Israel, tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Yehowa dzi, elabena lɔlɔ̃ matrɔ le Yehowa si, eye ɖeɖe blibo le eya amea gbɔ.

8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.

Eya ŋutɔ aɖe Israel tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.
