Psalms 57

57 ¹ Show me mercy, my Papa, show me mercy, because na for you my soul dey hide; for di shadow of your wings I go hide until di destroying storm dem pass. ² I dey cry out to my Papa, di Most High, to our Papa wey dey complete im purpose for me.

³ E go send from heaven come save me; E go rebuke di one wey dey trample me. Selah. My Papa go send im Covenant love and im faithfulness. ⁴ My soul dey among lion dem; I lie down among people wey dey breathe fire — people wey dia teeth be spear and arrow, wey dia tongue be sharp sword. ⁵ Make dem lift you up high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make your glory dey over di whole earth!

⁶ Dem set net for my footstep; my body bend down for heavy load. Dem dig pit for my front, but na demsef fall inside am. Selah. ⁷ My heart stand strong, my Papa, my heart stand strong! I go sing and make music. ⁸ Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I go wake up di dawn. ⁹ I go praise you among di people dem, O Sovereign Papa; I go sing about you among di nation dem. ¹⁰ Because your Covenant love reach up to di heavens, your faithfulness reach di cloud dem. ¹¹ Make dem lift you up high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make your glory dey over di whole earth!
