Miktam of David for inside di Cave
For di one wey dey lead di music. Make dem sing am to di tune of “No Destroy.” Na golden psalm of David, wen e run comot from Saul enter di cave.
As David dey hide for cave while Saul dey hunt am, e lie down among people wey their teeth be spear and their tongue be sword. E hide under im Papa wing until the storm pass, then e wake harp and lyre before day break, im heart steady even though nothing don change yet.
57 1Show me favour, my Papa, show me favour, because na inside You my soul dey hide; for under di shadow of Your wings I go hide until di storm wey dey destroy pass go. 2I dey cry out give my Papa, di Most High, give our Papa wey dey complete im plan for me.
3E go send help from heaven come save me; E dey rebuke di one wey dey trample me. My Papa go send im Covenant love wey no dey change and im faithfulness. 4My soul dey among lions; I lie down for middle of dem wey dey breathe fire—people wey dem teeth be spears and arrows, wey dem tongue be sharp swords. 5Make dem lift You high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make Your glory dey over all di earth!
6Dem set net for my leg; my body bend down. Dem dig pit for my front, but na demsef fall inside am. 7My heart stand strong, my Papa, my heart stand strong! I go sing and make music. 8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I go wake up di morning. 9I go praise You among di people, O my Papa wey be Sovereign Oga; I go sing about You among di nations. 10Because Your Covenant love wey no dey change reach di heavens, Your faithfulness reach di clouds. 11Make dem lift You high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make Your glory dey over all di earth!
