Psalms 130

1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

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

2 Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

3 If thou, Jah, shouldest mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?

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 thee, that thou mayest be feared.

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

5 I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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

6 My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than the watchers [wait] for the morning, [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 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous 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.
