Nnwom 130

1 Ɔsorokorɔ dwom. Ao Awurade, mefiri ebunu mu resu frɛ wo;

A song of degrees. Out of the deepe places haue I called vnto thee, O Lord.

2 Ao Awurade tie me nne. Wɛn wʼaso ma me nkotosrɛ.

Lord, heare my voyce: let thine eares attend to the voyce of my prayers.

3 Ao Awurade, sɛ wobu yɛn bɔne ho nkonta a, anka hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina ano?

If thou, O Lord, straightly markest iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Nanso, wowɔ bɔnefakyɛ; ɛno enti wɔsuro wo.

But mercie is with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 Metwɛn Awurade, me kra twɛn, na nʼasɛm mu na mede mʼanidasoɔ ahyɛ.

I haue waited on the Lord: my soule hath waited, and I haue trusted in his worde.

6 Me kra twɛne Awurade sene sɛdeɛ awɛmfoɔ twɛne adekyeɛ, sene sɛdeɛ awɛmfoɔ twene adekyeɛ.

My soule waiteth on the Lord more then the morning watch watcheth for the morning.

7 Ao Israel, ma wʼani nna Awurade so, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade wɔ adɔeɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ daa na ɔgyeɛ amapa wɔ ne mu.

Let Israel waite on the Lord: for with the Lord is mercie, and with him is great redemption.

8 Ɔno ankasa bɛgye Israel afiri wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.

And he shall redeeme Israel from all his iniquities.
