Di Promise Wey David Swear
Na song wey dem dey sing as dem dey go up to Jerusalem.
Di people ask our Papa make e remember David oath: no sleep until e find place for di ark to dwell. Di answer na bigger oath in return — throne wey go last, Zion wey dem choose as resting place, and bread for her poor.
132 1Remember, our Papa, because of David, all di suffer wey e bear — 2how e swear give our Papa, and e make promise give di Mighty One of Jacob: 3"I no go enter di tent of my house or climb enter my bed; 4I no go let my eyes sleep, or my eyelid slack, 5until I find place for our Papa, a house wey di Mighty One of Jacob go stay."
6Look — we hear about di ark for Ephrathah; we find am for di field of Jaar. a a v6 Ephrathah na di area wey dey around Bethlehem; Jaar mean Kiriath-jearim, di place wey di ark of di Covenant bin rest before David carry am go Jerusalem. 7Make we come im dwelling place; make we bow down for im footstool. 8Rise up, our Papa, come your resting place, you and di ark of your power. 9Make your priests wear correct-and-holy way, make your faithful people sing with joy.
10Because of David your servant, no turn your face from di one wey you anoint.
11Our Papa swear give David a sure oath wey e no go turn back from: "One wey come from your own body I go put for your throne. b b v11 Peter talk for Pentecost say our Papa keep dis oath wen e raise Jesus, di descendant of David, make e sit for David throne forever. 12If your sons keep my Covenant and di testimony wey I go teach dem, den dia sons go sit for your throne forever."
13Because our Papa don choose Zion; e don want am for im dwelling place:
14"Na here be my resting place forever; na here I go stay, because I don want am. 15I go bless her provision well well; I go satisfy her poor people with bread. 16Her priests I go clothe with salvation, and her faithful people go sing loud with joy.
17Na there I go make David power rise; I don prepare lamp for di one wey I anoint. 18Im enemies I go clothe with shame, but for im head im crown go shine.
