Psalms 130

1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.

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

2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?

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

4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.

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

5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.

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

6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

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 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.

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 redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Eya ŋutɔ aɖe Israel tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.
