Psalms 84

84 ¹ See as your dwelling place fine so, O Papa of heaven army! ² My 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. ³ Even di sparrow don find house, and di swallow don find nest for imself, wia e fit raise im pikin dem—for your altar dem, O Papa of heaven army, my King and my Papa. ⁴ Blessing dey for those wey dey stay for your house; dem dey praise you all di time. Selah

⁵ Blessing dey for di person wey im strength dey inside you, wey get di road to Zion for im heart. ⁶ As dem dey pass through di Valley of Baca, dem dey turn am to place wey water dey spring; di early rain sef dey cover am with blessing. ^a a v6 Baca mean "weeping." For di road wey dey go our Papa, even di valley of tears dey turn to place wey water dey spring. ⁷ Dem dey go from strength reach strength; each one dey appear before our Papa for Zion. ⁸ O Papa of heaven army, hear my prayer; listen, O our Papa of Jacob. Selah

⁹ Look our shield, O our Papa, and look di person wey you don anoint. ^b b v9 "Di person wey you don anoint" na Israel im king, God im chosen ruler wey dem set apart for im people. ¹⁰ Because one day for your courts better pass one thousand day for anywia else. I go rather be doorkeeper for di house of my Papa than stay for di tent of wicked people. ¹¹ Because our Papa na sun and shield; our Papa dey give grace and glory; e no dey hold back any good thing from those wey dey waka for di correct-and-holy way. ¹² O Papa of heaven army, blessing dey for di person wey dey trust for you!
