Dem Sabi Am for Judah
For di director of music: with instrument wey get string. Na psalm of Asaph, one song.
The war don already finish when the psalm start. For Salem the arrows, shields and swords don break scatter, warriors dey sleep, horses lie down dey shock. The main thing no be Israel skill but say our Papa stand up to save the humble people of the earth.
76 1Dem sabi our Papa for Judah; for Israel im name big well well. 2Im tent dey for Salem, di place wey im dey stay dey for Zion. a a v2 Salem na old-time name for Jerusalem — di city wey our Papa choose make im make im home. 3Na for there im break di arrow wey dey shine, di shield and di sword and di weapon of war.
4You dey shine, you get glory pass di mountain wey full of prey. 5Dem strip di strong soldiers pass everybody comot di thing wey dem tiff; dem sink inside dem sleep; 6For di time wey you shout dem, God of Jacob, chariot and horse just lie down, dem no fit move. 7You, na you dem suppose fear! Who fit stand for your front wen your vex don rise? 8From heaven you talk judgement; di earth fear and keep quiet, 9wen our Papa stand up for judgement, to save all di people wey get humble heart for di earth.
10For true, di vex of man go praise you, and you go wear di part wey remain of am like cloth. b b v10 Even wen man dey rage against God, e still end up bringing am glory — e dey wear dem vex like trophy. 11Make you promise your Papa and do wetin you promise; make everybody wey dey around am bring gift come give di one wey dem suppose fear, 12di one wey dey cut off di spirit of princes, di one wey di kings of di earth dey fear.
