Psalms 106

106 ¹Hallelujah! Make una give our Papa thank you, because e good; im Covenant love no dey change, e go last forever.

²Who fit tok all di mighty work wey our Papa do, or shout all im praise? ³Blessing dey for dem wey dey do justice, wey dey always do wetin correct.

⁴Remember me, our Papa, wit di favour wey you dey show your people; come to me wit your salvation, ⁵so dat I fit see di better-better tin wey your chosen ones dey enjoy, rejoice wit di gladness of your nation, and dance wit joy togeda wit your inheritance.

⁶We don sin, jus like our grandpapa-and-grandmama dem do; we don do wrong, we don do wickedness. ⁷Wen our grandpapa-and-grandmama dem dey for Egypt, dem no consider your wonders; dem no remember how plenty your Covenant love be, but dem rebel for beside di sea, for di Red Sea. ^a a v7 Hebrew: Yam Suf, "Sea of Reeds." ⁸But still, e save dem because of im name, so dat e go make im mighty power known. ⁹E talk strong to di Red Sea, and e dry; e lead dem pass di deep water like say na desert. ¹⁰E save dem from di hand of di one wey hate dem, and e redeem dem from di hand of di enemy. ¹¹Di waters cover dia enemies; not even one of dem remain. ¹²Den dem believe im words; dem sing im praise.

¹³But sharp-sharp dem forget di tins wey e do; dem no wait for im advice. ¹⁴For di wilderness dem gree for dia strong craving, and for di dry-dry place dem test our Papa. ¹⁵So e give dem wetin dem ask for, but e send sickness wey dey waste dem body come among dem. ¹⁶For di camp dem begin jealous Moses, and Aaron, di holy one of our Papa. ¹⁷Di ground open and swallow Dathan, and cover di company of Abiram. ¹⁸Fire blaze against dia company; flame burn di wicked people finish.

¹⁹For Horeb dem make one calf and bow down to image wey dem melt metal make. ²⁰Dem exchange dia glory for di image of ox wey dey chop grass. ²¹Dem forget our Papa, dia Savior, wey don do great-great tins for Egypt, ²²wonders for di land of Ham, tins wey go make person shake for di Red Sea. ^b b v22 Di land of Ham na old poetic name for Egypt. ²³So e talk say e go destroy dem—if to say Moses, im chosen one, no been stand for di gap in front of am, to turn im anger comot from destroying dem.

²⁴Den dem despise di sweet land; dem no believe im promise. ²⁵Dem grumble for dia tents and dem no listen to di voice of our Papa. ²⁶So e raise im hand and swear say e go make dem fall for di wilderness, ²⁷and make dia pikin-pikin fall among di nations and scatter dem all over di lands.

²⁸Dem join demsef to di Baal of Peor and chop sacrifices wey dem offer to dead gods wey no get life. ²⁹Dem provoke am to anger wit di tins wey dem do, and plague burst comot among dem. ³⁰But Phinehas stand up and enter di mata, and di plague stop. ³¹And dem count am for am as correct-and-holy way, for all generations forever. ³²For di waters of Meribah dem make am vex, and e turn bad for Moses because of dem, ³³because dem make im spirit bitter, and e tok anyhow wit im mout.

³⁴Dem no destroy di peoples, as our Papa don command dem, ³⁵but dem mix wit di nations and learn dia ways. ³⁶Dem serve dia idols, wey turn to trap for dem. ³⁷Dem sacrifice dia sons and dia daughters to di demons. ³⁸Dem pour out innocent blood, di blood of dia sons and daughters, wey dem sacrifice to di idols of Canaan, and blood defile di land. ³⁹Dem come dirty demsef wit di tins wey dem do and dem carry dia actions dey do like ashawo.

⁴⁰So di anger of our Papa burn against im people, and e hate im inheritance. ⁴¹E hand dem over to di nations, and dem wey hate dem rule over dem. ⁴²Dia enemies oppress dem, and dem put dem under dia power. ⁴³Plenty times e deliver dem, but for all dia plans dem still dey do rebellion, ⁴⁴But still, e look dia suffer wen e hear dia cry. ⁴⁵For dia sake e remember im Covenant, and e change im mind because of how plenty im loyal love be. ⁴⁶E move di heart of all dem wey carry dem go captivity make dem take pity on dem.

⁴⁷Save us, our Papa, and gather us comot from among di nations, so dat we go give your holy name thank you and dance wit joy for your praise.

⁴⁸Blessing dey for di Papa of Israel, from forever to forever! And make all di people tok, "Amen!" Hallelujah!
