E No Go Ever Leave Im Own People
Protest against people wey dey kill widows and strangers and think say nobody dey see. Di answer na common sense: di one wey plant ear, e no go hear? E end for personal level — my leg bin dey slip, and my Papa covenant love hold me up.
94 1Our Papa wey dey bring justice—our Papa; our Papa wey dey bring justice, shine come out! 2Rise up, Judge of di earth; give di proud people wetin dem deserve. 3How long, our Papa, di wicked people go dey—how long di wicked people go dey laugh with pride?
4Dem dey pour out proud proud words; all di people wey dey do bad dey brag. 5Dem dey crush your people, our Papa, and dey oppress di people wey be your own inheritance. 6Dem dey kill di widow and di stranger, and dey murder di pikin wey no get papa. 7Dem dey talk say, “Oga no dey see; di God of Jacob no dey notice anything.”
8Pay attention, una wey no get sense among di people; una fools, wetin time una go get wisdom? 9Di One wey plant di ear, e no go hear? Di One wey mould di eye, e no go see? 10Di One wey dey discipline nations, e no go correct dem—di One wey dey teach mankind knowledge? 11Our Papa sabi di thoughts of mankind, say dem be just breath wey dey pass.
12Blessing dey for di person wey you dey discipline, our Papa, and wey you dey teach from your law, 13you dey give am rest from di days of trouble, till dem dig pit for di wicked person. 14Because our Papa no go leave im people; e no go abandon di people wey be im inheritance. 15Because justice go come back to di correct-and-holy people, and all di people wey get straight heart go follow am.
16Who go rise up for my sake against di wicked people? Who go stand for me against di people wey dey do bad? 17If our Papa no bin be my help, my soul for don quick go rest inside di silence of death. 18Wen I talk say, “My leg dey slip,” your Covenant love, our Papa, hold me up. 19Wen worry plenty inside me, di way you comfort me bring joy come my soul.
20Corrupt throne fit join hand with you—di kind wey dey write injustice put inside law? 21Dem dey gang up against di life of di correct-and-holy person and dey condemn di innocent person to death. 22But our Papa don become my strong place, and our Papa be di rock wey I dey hide. 23E go turn dem own sin back on top dem and go destroy dem for dem wickedness; our Papa go destroy dem.
