Nations Dey Boil for Vex
2 1 Why di nations dey rage, and di people dey plan wetin no go work? 2 Di kings of di earth take dia stand, and di rulers gather togeda to plan against our Papa and against im Anointed One — Jesus — a a v2 Di Anointed One — Messiah — na Jesus. Di early church pray dis very psalm about di rulers wey gang up against am (Acts 4:25-26). 3 “Make we tear comot di chains wey dem put for our body,” na so dem talk, “and throw dia ropes comot from us.”
4 Our Papa, wey sidon for im throne for heaven, dey laugh; di Papa wey be Oga over all dey scorn dem. 5 Den e go talk to dem for im vex and go make dem fear well-well for im hot anger:
6 “Na me myself put my King for Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I go announce di decree of our Papa: e tell me say, “You be my Pikin — Jesus — today I don born you.” b b v7 Our Papa im decree wey no dey end to di Pikin. Di New Testament take dis words apply am direct to Jesus — Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 5:5 — dey declare am as di Pikin wey di Papa born. 8 “Ask me, and I go make di nations your inheritance, and di ends of di earth your own property. 9 You go break dem with iron rod; you go scatter dem like potter im jar.”
10 So now, una kings, make una wise; make dem warn una, una rulers of di earth. 11 Serve our Papa with deep respect, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss di Pikin — Jesus — or e go vex and you go perish for di road, because im anger fit blaze up sharp-sharp. Blessed na all wey dey take refuge for im hand. c c v12 Di psalm end with refuge for di Pikin — Jesus. To trust am na to make di Papa wey put am for im throne welcome you come house.
