By your great power, your enemies dey shake for your front. ⁴All di earth dey worship you and dey sing praises give you; dem dey sing praises give your name.”

⁵Come and see di work wey our Papa don do, im work dey make person fear as e take dey do all people. ⁶E turn di sea to dry ground; dem waka pass di river for foot. Na for there we rejoice inside am. ⁷E dey rule with im power forever; im eyes dey watch di nations—make di people wey dey rebel no lift demself up.
