Nnwom 130

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, YHWH.

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

YHWH, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

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

If you, JAH, kept a record of sins, YHWH, who could stand?

4 Nanso, wowɔ bɔnefakyɛ; ɛno enti wɔsuro wo.

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

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

I wait for YHWH. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

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

My soul longs for YHWH more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen 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.

Israel, hope in YHWH, for with YHWH there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

8 Ɔno ankasa bɛgye Israel afiri wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
