How Many Na Your Works
Tour of di world as e dey work: springs for valleys, birds wey dey make nest for branches, lions wey dey hunt for night, people wey dey go work for early morning, ships for sea, and Leviathan wey e make to play there. All of dem dey wait with open mouth make we Papa fill dem.
104 1Bless our Papa, my soul. My Papa, you great well well; splendor and majesty na im dey cover you like cloth.
2E dey wrap imsef inside light like cloth; e dey stretch di heavens like tent-cover. 3E dey lay di beams of im upstairs rooms ontop di waters; e dey make di clouds im chariot; e dey waka ontop di wings of di wind. 4E dey make di winds im messengers, flames 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.
5E set di earth ontop im foundations, so dat notin fit shake am forever. 6You cover am with di deep like cloth; di waters stand ontop di mountains. 7For your rebuke dem run comot; for di sound of your thunder dem rush comot. 8Di mountains rise, di valleys sink go down reach di place wey you appoint for dem. 9You set boundary wey dem no fit cross, so dat dem no go ever cover di earth again.
10You dey make springs burst comot for di valleys; dem dey flow between di hills. 11Dem dey give water to every wild animal; di wild donkeys dey quench dia thirst. 12For dia side di birds of di sky dey make dia home; dem dey sing among di branches. 13E dey water di mountains from im upstairs rooms; di earth belleful with di fruit of your work. 14E dey make grass grow for di livestock, and plants for people to farm, dey bring food comot from di earth, 15and wine to gladden di heart of man, oil to make im face shine, and bread to strong di human heart. 16Di trees of our Papa dey get plenty water, di cedars of Lebanon wey e plant. 17Inside dem di birds dey build dia nests; di stork get im home inside di fir trees. 18Di high mountains na for di wild goats; di rocks na hiding-place for di rock badgers.
19E make di moon to mark di seasons; di sun sabi im time to set. 20You dey make darkness, and e turn night, wen all di animals of di forest dey creep about. 21Di young lions dey roar for dia prey, dey seek dia food from our Papa. 22Wen di sun rise, dem dey comot quiet-quiet and lie down inside dia dens. 23People dey go out to dia work and to dia labor until evening.
24How plenty na your works, our Papa! With wisdom you make dem all; di earth full with your creatures. 25See di sea, big and wide, wey full with creatures wey pass count, living things — small and big. 26For deh di ships dey sail come and go, and Leviathan, wey you form to play inside am. b b v26 Leviathan: one fearful sea monster for ancient Hebrew tradition, wey dem picture here as God im own creature wey dey play inside di ocean.
27All dis ones dey look you make you give dem dia food for di correct time. 28Wen you give am to dem, dem dey gather am up; wen you open your hand, dem dey full with good things. 29Wen you hide your face, fear dey catch dem; wen you take dia breath comot, dem go die come return to dia dust. 30Wen you send out your Spirit, dem dey create, and you dey renew di face of di ground.
31Make di glory of our Papa last forever; make our Papa rejoice inside im works. 32E dey look di earth and e dey shake; e dey touch di mountains and dem dey smoke.
33I go sing to our Papa as long as I dey live; I go sing praise to our Papa while breath still dey me. 34Make wetin I dey think sweet for im body, because I dey happy for our Papa. 35Make sinners finish comot from di earth, and make di wicked no dey again. Bless our Papa, my soul. Hallelujah!
