Psalms 130

1 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Awurade, mifi bun mu su frɛ wo;

2 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Awurade, tie me nne. Wɛn wʼaso ma me nkotosrɛ.

3 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

Awurade, sɛ wubu yɛn bɔne ho nkontaa a, anka hena na obetumi agyina ano?

4 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

Nanso wowɔ bɔnefakyɛ; ɛno nti wosuro wo.

5 I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

Metwɛn Awurade, me mu ade nyinaa twɛn, na nʼasɛm mu na mede mʼanidaso ahyɛ.

6 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

Metwɛn Awurade sen sɛnea awɛmfo twɛn adekyee, sen sɛnea awɛmfo twɛn adekyee.

7 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

Israel, ma wʼani nna Awurade so, efisɛ Awurade wɔ adɔe a enni huammɔ na ogye ankasa wɔ ne mu.

8 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

Ɔno ankasa begye Israel afi wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.
