Dem Cover Am, Count Am Clean
Na David own. Wisdom psalm.
David describe wetin silence cost am — im bones dey waste, im strength dry like for summer heat — and how confession end am for one sentence. Then e turn to teaching: no be like mule wey dem must drag; come while our Papa still dey for where you fit find am.
32 1Better blessing dey for di person wey dem don forgive im rebellion, wey dem don cover im sin! a a v1 Paul quote dis verse and di one wey follow am as di real heart of how our Papa dey make person correct — na forgiveness wey dem credit give us, no be sometin wey we work for (Romans 4:7-8). 2Better blessing dey for di person wey our Papa no count any guilt against am, and wey no get any lie for im spirit!
3Wen I keep quiet, my bones just dey waste as I dey groan di whole day. 4Because day and night your hand dey heavy on top me; my strength just dry finish like wen di sun hot for dry season.
5Na dat time I gree tell you my sin, and I no cover my guilt; I talk say, “I go confess my rebellions give our Papa”—and you forgive di guilt of my sin.
6So make everybody wey dey faithful pray to you wen dem fit still find you; for true, wen di big waters rise, dem no go reach am. 7Na you be hiding place for me; you dey keep me from wahala; you dey surround me with shouts of deliverance.
8I go instruct you and teach you di way wey you suppose waka; I go counsel you with my eye dey on top you. 9No be like horse or mule wey no get sense, wey dem must use bit and bridle control im spirit, if not e no go come near you.
10Plenty sorrow dey for di wicked people, but di person wey dey trust our Papa, im love wey no dey change dey surround am. 11Make una glad for our Papa and rejoice, una correct-and-holy people; shout for joy, all of una wey get upright heart!
