How Plenty Na Your Work
104 1 My soul, bless our Papa. My Papa, you great well well; splendor and majesty na im dey cover you like cloth.
2 E dey wrap imsef with light like garment; e dey stretch di heavens like tent-cover. 3 E dey lay di beam of im upstairs rooms for on top di waters; e dey make di clouds im chariot; e dey waka for on top di wings of di wind. 4 E dey make di winds im messengers, and flame of fire im servants. a a v4 Di book of Hebrews quote dis line to show sey our Papa dey make even wind and fire im servants — while di Pikin dey reign as ruler, no be servant.
5 E set di earth for on top im foundation, so dat notin fit shake am comot forever. 6 You cover am with di deep water like garment; di waters stand on top di mountains. 7 As you rebuke dem, dem run comot; as your thunder sound, dem rush comot. 8 Di mountains rise, di valleys sink down go di place wey you set for dem. 9 You put boundary wey dem no fit cross, so dat dem no go ever cover di earth again.
10 You dey make springs burst comot for di valleys; dem dey flow between di hills. 11 Dem dey give water to every wild animal; di wild donkeys dey quench dia thirst. 12 For beside dem di birds of di sky dey make dia home; dem dey sing among di branches. 13 E dey water di mountains from im upstairs rooms; di earth belle full with di fruit of your work. 14 E dey make grass grow for di livestock, and plants for people to farm, dey bring food comot from di ground, 15 and wine to make man heart happy, oil to make im face shine, and bread to strong di human heart. 16 Di trees of our Papa dey get plenty water, di cedars of Lebanon wey e plant. 17 For inside dem di birds dey build dia nest; di stork get im home for inside di fir trees. 18 Di high mountains na for di wild goats; di rocks na hiding place for di rock badgers.
19 E make di moon to mark di seasons; di sun sabi im time to go down. 20 You dey make darkness, and e turn night, wen all di animals of di forest dey comot dey waka. 21 Di young lions dey roar for dia prey, dey find dia food from our Papa. 22 Wen di sun rise, dem dey comot go hide, and dem dey lie down for dia den. 23 People dey comot go dia work and dia labor till evening reach.
24 How plenty na your work, our Papa! With wisdom you make dem all; di earth full with di things wey you create. 25 See di sea, big and wide, full with creatures wey pass count, living things, small and big. 26 For dia di ships dey sail go and come, and Leviathan, wey you form to dey play inside am. b b v26 Leviathan: one fearsome sea monster for inside ancient Hebrew tradition, wey dem picture here as God im own creature wey dey play for inside di ocean.
27 All of dem dey look up to you to give dem dia food for di right time. 28 Wen you give am to dem, dem dey gather am up; wen you open your hand, dem dey full with good things. 29 Wen you hide your face, fear dey catch dem; wen you take dia breath comot, dem dey die and return go dia dust. 30 Wen you send your Spirit comot, dem come dey created, and you dey renew di face of di ground.
31 Make di glory of our Papa last forever; make our Papa dey rejoice for im work, 32 E dey look di earth and e dey shake; e dey touch di mountains and dem dey smoke.
33 I go sing to our Papa as long as I dey alive; I go sing praise to our Papa as long as I get breath. 34 Make my meditation sweet for am, because I dey rejoice for our Papa. 35 Make sinners finish comot from di earth, and make di wicked ones no dey again. My soul, bless our Papa. Hallelujah!
