132 ¹Remember, our Papa, because of David, all di suffer wey e bear, ²how e swear give our Papa and make promise give di Mighty One of Jacob: ³“I no go enter di tent of my house or climb enter my bed; ⁴I no go let my eye sleep or make my eyelid doze, ⁵until I find place for our Papa, house wey di Mighty One of Jacob go stay.”

⁶Look—we hear about di ark for Ephrathah; we find am for di fields of Jaar. ^a a v6 Ephrathah na di area around Bethlehem; Jaar mean Kiriath-jearim, di place wey di ark of di Covenant bin dey rest before David carry am come Jerusalem. ⁷Make we come to im dwelling place; make we bow down for im footstool. ⁸Rise up, our Papa, and come to your resting place, you and di ark of your power. ⁹Make your priests wear correct-and-holy way, and make your faithful people sing for joy.

¹⁰Because of David your servant, no turn away from your anointed one.

¹¹Our Papa swear give David one oath wey sure, wey e no go turn back from: “Person wey comot from your own body, na im I go put for your throne. ^b b v11 Peter talk for Pentecost say our Papa keep dis oath wen e raise Jesus, di descendant of David, make e sit for David throne forever. ¹²If your sons keep my Covenant and di testimony wey I go teach dem, den their own sons go sit for your throne forever.”

¹³Because our Papa don choose Zion; e don want am make e be im dwelling place:

¹⁴“Na here be my resting place forever; na here I go stay, because I don want am. ¹⁵I go bless her food plenty; I go satisfy her poor people with bread. ¹⁶Her priests, na salvation I go make dem wear, and her faithful people go sing loud for joy.

¹⁷“Na there I go make David power rise up; I don prepare lamp for my anointed one. ¹⁸Im enemies, na shame I go make dem wear, but for im head, im crown go shine.”
