My Soul Dey Wait
For di director of music. For Jeduthun. Na psalm wey David write.
62 1 Na for my Papa alone my soul dey wait quiet-quiet; na from am my salvation dey come. 2 Na im alone be my rock and my salvation, my strong place; nothing go fit shake me well-well. 3 How long una go dey attack one man, dey knock am down, like wall wey don bend, like fence wey wan fall? 4 Na only to throway am comot from im high place dem dey plan; dem dey enjoy lie-lie. With dem mouth dem dey bless, but for inside dem heart dem dey curse. Selah
5 Na for my Papa alone, my soul, wait quiet-quiet, because na from am my hope dey come. 6 Na im alone be my rock and my salvation, my strong place; nothing go shake me. 7 My salvation and my glory dey rest for my Papa; my mighty rock, my hiding place, dey inside my Papa. 8 Trust am every time, una people; pour out una heart for im front; our Papa na hiding place for us. Selah
9 For true, di small people na just breath, di big-big people na deception; if you put dem for weighing scale, dem go go up — put togeda dem light pass ordinary breath. 10 No put your trust for how dem dey squeeze money from people by force; no put empty hope for tiff-tiff; if riches increase, no set your heart on top am. 11 One time our Papa don talk; two times I don hear dis thing: say na for our Papa power dey, a a v11 "One time… two times" na Hebrew poetry pattern wey mean say: dis one pass everything, na im matter most. 12 and to you, my Sovereign Papa, na Covenant love dey belong. Because you go pay every person according to wetin im don do.
