Psalms 130

1 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

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

2 Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

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

3 If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could 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 you, that you may be revered.

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

5 I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

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

6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait 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 Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

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

8 It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.

Eya ŋutɔ aɖe Israel tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.
