107 ¹ Give thanks to our Papa, because he good; im love wey no dey change dey last forever.

² Make dem wey our Papa don redeem talk am — dem wey he redeem comot from di hand of di enemy, ³ and he gather dem come from di lands, from east and west, from north and from di sea.

⁴ Some of dem waka dey lost for di wilderness, for di empty desert, dem no fit find road go any city wey dem go fit stay. ⁵ Hunger and thirst catch dem, dem soul come dey weak. ⁶ Den dem cry to our Papa for dia trouble, and he save dem from dia wahala. ⁷ He lead dem for straight road, make dem reach city wey dem go fit stay. ⁸ Make dem thank our Papa for im love wey no dey change, for di wonderful things wey he do for di pikin of man. ⁹ Because he satisfy di soul wey dey long for am, and he fill di hungry soul with good things.

¹⁰ Some sidon for darkness and for di shadow of death, prisoners wey dey suffer for iron chain, ¹¹ because dem don rebel against di word of our Papa and dem reject di counsel of di Most High. ¹² So he humble dia heart with hard work; dem fall, and nobody dey to help dem. ¹³ Den dem cry to our Papa for dia trouble, and he save dem from dia wahala. ¹⁴ He bring dem comot from darkness and di shadow of death, and he break dia chain. ¹⁵ Make dem thank our Papa for im love wey no dey change, for di wonderful things wey he do for di pikin of man. ¹⁶ Because he break di bronze door and he cut di iron bar.

¹⁷ Some turn to fool because of dia rebellious way, and because of dia sin dem come dey suffer. ¹⁸ Dem hate all food and dem come near di gate of death. ¹⁹ Den dem cry to our Papa for dia trouble, and he save dem from dia wahala. ²⁰ He send im word come heal dem, and he save dem from di pit. ²¹ Make dem thank our Papa for im love wey no dey change, for di wonderful things wey he do for di pikin of man. ²² And make dem offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and make dem tell wetin he do with song of joy.

²³ Some go down enter di sea inside ship, dem dey do business for di mighty water. ²⁴ Dem see di things wey our Papa do, im wonderful work for di deep. ²⁵ Because he talk, and he raise stormy wind wey lift di wave high. ²⁶ Dem go up reach di heavens and dem go down reach di depths; dia mind come melt for dia danger. ²⁷ Dem stagger like person wey drink, and all dia skill come useless. ²⁸ Den dem cry to our Papa for dia trouble, and he bring dem comot from dia wahala. ²⁹ He make di storm quiet to whisper, and di wave of di sea come calm down. ³⁰ Den dem glad because di water calm down, and he lead dem go di harbor wey dem want. ³¹ Make dem thank our Papa for im love wey no dey change, for di wonderful things wey he do for di pikin of man. ³² Make dem lift am up for di gathering of di people, and make dem praise am for di council of di elders.

³³ He turn river to desert, spring of water to dry ground, ³⁴ land wey dey bear fruit to salt waste land, because of di evil of di people wey dey live for inside am. ³⁵ He turn desert to pool of water, dry land to spring of water. ³⁶ For there he settle di hungry people, and dem build city to live inside. ³⁷ Dem plant for field and plant vineyard wey dey bring plenty harvest. ³⁸ He bless dem, and dem multiply well well, and he no let dia animal reduce.

³⁹ When dem reduce and dem come low because of oppression, wahala, and sorrow, ⁴⁰ he pour shame for princes and he make dem waka for waste land wey no get road; ⁴¹ but he lift di poor people comot from suffering and he make dia family plenty like flock of sheep. ⁴² Di people wey dey do correct-and-holy way see am and dem glad, and all wickedness shut im mouth.

⁴³ Anybody wey get sense, make he pay attention to dis things and make he consider di love wey no dey change of our Papa.
