3E no go let your foot slip; di One wey dey watch over you no go doze. 4For true, di One wey dey watch over Israel no go doze, e no go sleep at all.
5Your Papa dey watch over you; your Papa na di shade for your right hand. 6Di sun no go strike you for day, di moon no go do you anything for night.
7Your Papa go keep you from all harm; e go watch over your life. 8Your Papa go watch over your going and your coming, from now sotay forever and ever.
