Dem Don Break Di Trap
Song of ascents. Na David write am.
National escape story wey dem tell as series of near miss: dem for swallow dem alive, flood for carry dem go. The picture wey remain na bird wey comot from trap wey break — proof say the help dey for our Papa name, no be for demsef.
124 1If no be say our Papa dey for our side—make Israel talk am now— 2if no be say our Papa dey for our side wen people rise up against us, 3den dem for don swallow us alive, wen dia vex burn hot against us; 4den di water for don carry us go, di flood for don sweep pass us; 5den di water wey dey rage for don sweep pass us.
6Make we praise our Papa, wey no give us as meat for dia teeth! 7We don escape like bird from di hunter dem trap; di trap don break, an we don escape! 8Our help dey for di name of our Papa, wey make heaven an earth.
