Mmɔborɔhunu mpaebɔ

123 Awurade, wo na mehwɛ wo, ɛne ɔsoro a wudi so hene no. Sɛnea akoa dan ne wura no, saa ara na afenaa dan n’awuraa; enti yɛbɛkɔ so ahwɛ wo, O Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, kosi sɛ wubehu yɛn mmɔbɔ.

Hu yɛn mmɔbɔ, Awurade, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ; wɔagu yɛn anim ase ama aboro so. Adefo adi yɛn ho fɛw akyɛ dodo, na ahantanfo nso ahyɛ yɛn so akyɛ.

Psalm 123

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.
