45 1 My heart dey full up with correct-and-fine tori as I dey talk my verses for di king; my tongue na di pen of scribe wey sabi im work well well. 2 You fine pass all di men wey dey; grace dey pour for your mouth; na why our Papa don bless you forever. 3 Tie your sword for your waist, you mighty warrior, inside your shine and your big-big glory. 4 Inside your big glory, ride comot go win di battle for di sake of truth and to bow-head and correct-and-holy way; make your right hand teach you dey do fearful-fearful tins. 5 Your arrow dem sharp for inside di heart of di king enemy dem; di people dem dey fall for under your leg. 6 Your throne, God, dey forever and ever; di rod of your kingdom na rod of correct way. a a v6 Hebrews 1:8 take dis verse point to Jesus — our Papa dey call di Pikin God, wey im throne go stand forever. 7 You don love correct-and-holy way and you hate wickedness; na why our Papa, your Papa, don rub you with di oil of gladness pass all your padi dem. b b v7 Hebrews 1:9 — our Papa rub di Pikin with joy pass everybody else. 8 All your cloth dey smell sweet with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palace dem wey dem take ivory take fine am, di music of string dey make your heart glad.
9 Pikin-woman of king dem dey among di women wey you honour; for your right hand di queen dey stand with gold of Ophir. c c v9 Ophir na old-time area wey dem sabi well well for di best gold for di whole world. 10 Hear, my pikin-woman; think am well and put ear: forget your people and your papa house, 11 and di king go want your fine looks. Since na im be your oga, bow give am. 12 Di pikin-woman of Tyre dey come with gift; di rich people among di people go dey find your favour. 13 Di king pikin-woman dey full of glory for inside; dem take gold weave her gown. 14 Dem dey lead am go meet di king inside cloth wey dem sew fine-fine; di young women, her padi dem, dem bring dem give you behind am.
15 With joy and gladness dem dey lead dem along; dem enter di palace of di king. 16 For di place of your papa dem, na your sons go dey; you go make dem princes for di whole earth. 17 I go make dem remember your name for all generation dem; na why di people dem go praise you forever and ever.
