A Song for di Dedication
A psalm. A song for di dedication of di house. Na David.
30 1 I go lift you high, my Papa, because you pull me up, and you no let my enemies laugh me for shame.
2 My Papa, I cry give you make you help me, and you heal me. 3 My Papa, you bring my soul comot from di grave; you keep me alive, and you no let me go down enter di pit.
4 Sing to our Papa, una wey be im faithful people, and give thanks to im holy name. 5 Because im vex dey last small time rai, but im favor dey last person whole life; cry fit last through di night, but joy dey come for morning.
6 For di time wey I feel safe, I talk say, “Nothing go ever shake me.” 7 My Papa, na by your favor you make my mountain stand strong; but wen you hide your face, my heart just scatter.
8 Na you, my Papa, I call; na to di Sovereign Papa I beg for mercy: 9 “Wetin I go gain if dem shut my mouth, if I go down enter di pit? Di dust fit praise you? E fit talk about how you dey faithful?” 10 Hear me, my Papa, and show me mercy; my Papa, be di one wey dey help me.
11 You turn my mourning to dance; you comot my mourning cloth, and you dress me with gladness, 12 so that my heart fit sing your praise and no keep quiet. My Papa, I go give you thanks forever.
