Psalmowo 130

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 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.

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

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

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

8 Eya ŋutɔ aɖe Israel tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
