David Dey Cry Out From Inside di Cave
Wisdom psalm wey David sing, wen e dey inside di cave. Na prayer.
David dey pray inside cave and e describe complete loneliness: look my right hand, nobody recognize me, no refuge remain, nobody care whether I live. E call im Papa im portion for di land of di living and e ask make dem bring am comot from prison.
142 1With my voice I dey cry out to my Papa; with my voice I dey beg am for mercy. a a v1 Maskil na song wey dey make person think deep—psalm wey dem write make person ponder am, no be just to sing am. 2I dey pour out my complain before am; before am I dey talk my trouble. 3Wen my spirit weak inside me, na you sabi my way. For di road wey I dey waka, dem don hide trap for me. 4Look my right hand side and see — nobody dey wey know me; no place to hide remain for me; nobody dey care about my life. 5I dey cry to you, my Papa; I talk say, “Na you be my place to hide, my portion for di land of di living.” 6Hear my cry, because dem don bring me very low. Rescue me from dem wey dey pursue me, because dem too strong pass me. 7Bring my soul comot from prison, so I fit give thanks to your name. Di correct-and-holy people go gather round me, because you go do me well well.
