Sons of Korah: Song wey Dey Long for Papa
For di director of music; according to di Gittith. Na psalm of di sons of Korah.
One pilgrim dey jealous the sparrow wey fit build nest for our Papa altar all year round. As dem dey pass through dry valley, the travelers leave springs behind dem, dey go from strength to strength. One day for those courts better pass one thousand for anywhere else.
84 1How your dwelling place fine reach, O Papa wey get di army of heaven! 2My soul dey long, e even dey faint, for di courts of our Papa; my heart and my body dey sing with joy to our living Papa. 3Even di sparrow don find house, and di swallow don find nest for imself, wia e fit raise im pikin dem—for your altars, O Papa wey get di army of heaven, my King and my Papa. 4Blessing dey for di people wey dey stay for your house; dem dey always praise you.
5Blessing dey for di person wey im strength dey inside you, wey get di road to Zion for im heart. 6As dem dey pass through di Valley of Baca, dem dey make am place of spring water; di early rain sef dey cover am with blessing. a a v6 Baca mean "crying." For di road wey dey go our Papa, even di valley of tears dey turn to place of spring water. 7Dem dey go from strength to strength; everyone dey appear before our Papa for Zion. 8O Papa wey get di army of heaven, hear my prayer; listen, O God of Jacob.
9Look our shield, O our Papa, and look di one wey you anoint. b b v9 "Di one wey you anoint" dey talk about Israel king, di ruler wey God choose, wey dem set apart for im people. 10Because one day for your courts better pass 1,000 for anoda place. I go prefer make I be di person wey dey keep door for di house of my Papa pass make I stay for di tent of wicked people. 11Because our Papa na sun and shield; our Papa dey give grace and glory; e no dey hold back any good thing from di people wey dey waka correct. 12O Papa wey get di army of heaven, blessing dey for di person wey dey trust you!
