My Soul Dey Wait
For di director of music. For Jeduthun. Na psalm wey David write.
David dey wait for im Papa alone for quiet, while others dey push am like wall wey don lean, dem dey bless am for mouth but dey curse am for inside. E weigh both small people and big people and see say dem light pass breath, then e tell everybody make dem pour out their heart too.
62 1Na for my Papa alone my soul dey wait quiet-quiet; na from im my salvation dey come. 2Na im alone be my rock and my salvation, my strong place; dem no fit shake me at all. 3How long una go dey attack one man, dey break am down, like wall wey dey lean, like fence wey wan fall? 4Na only to pull am comot from im high place dem dey plan; dem dey enjoy lie-lie. With dem mouth dem dey bless, but for inside dem dey curse.
5Na for my Papa alone, my soul, wait for quiet, because my hope na from am e dey come. 6Na im alone be my rock and my salvation, my strong place; dem no go fit shake me. 7My salvation and my glory dey rest on my Papa; my mighty rock, 8Trust am every time, una people; pour out una heart for im front; our Papa na di hiding place for us.
9For true, di small people na just breath, di big people na deceive; for di weighing scale dem dey go up—all of dem together light pass breath. 10No put trust for stealing by force; no put empty hope for robbery; if riches increase, no set una heart on am. 11One time our Papa don talk; two times I don hear dis: say power na our Papa own, a a v11 "One time… two times" na Hebrew poetry style wey mean: na dis one pass everything be di thing wey matter well-well. 12and to you, my Sovereign Papa, Covenant love belong. Because you go pay every person according to wetin im do.
