David Cry for Inside Darkness
For di director of music; wit strings instrument, according to di sheminith. Na psalm of David.
6 1 My Papa, no rebuke me for your anger o, no discipline me for your vex. 2 Show me favour, my Papa, because I weak; heal me, my Papa, because my bone dey shake for fear.
3 My soul dey shake for fear. But you, my Papa — how long? 4 Turn come back to me, my Papa; save my life. Rescue me because of your Covenant love.
5 Because for inside death, nobody dey remember you; for inside grave, na who go praise you?
6 Tiredness don finish me from all my groaning. Di whole night I dey flood my bed wit tears; I dey soak am wit my crying.
7 My eye don weak from sorrow; dem don fail because of all my enemy. 8 Comot for my front, all una wey dey do evil, because my Papa don hear di sound of my crying. 9 My Papa don hear my cry for mercy; my Papa accept my prayer. 10 All my enemy go shame and dem go dey shake for fear; dem go turn back, and one time dem go put dem to shame.
