Prayer From Person Wey No Do Wrong
Prayer of David.
David ask make dem hear am as innocent man, im heart wey dem examine for night and im leg wey no slip. As lion wey crouch dey hunt am, e beg make dem keep am like apple of eye, and e look pass im enemies go see im Papa face.
17 1Hear my correct case, my Papa; give ear to my cry; listen to my prayer wey comot for mouth wey no dey lie. 2Make my justice comot from your presence; make your eyes see wetin correct.
3You don search my heart, you don examine me for night, you don test me and you no find anytin bad; I don decide say my mouth no go sin. 4As for wetin people dey do, na by di word of your lips I don keep myself away from di road of dem wey dey do violence. 5My steps don hold your paths tight; my leg no slip.
6I dey call you, because you go answer me, my Papa; listen to me; hear my words. 7Show di wonder of your Covenant love, you wey dey save with your right hand dem wey run hide inside you from dia enemies. 8Keep me like di apple of your eye; hide me for di shadow of your wings, 9from di wicked people wey dey attack me, my enemies wey wan kill me, wey surround me.
10Dem don close their hard hearts; their mouth dey talk with proud mind. 11Dem don track us come and now dem surround us; dem fix dia eye to throw us for ground. 12E be like lion wey hungry to tear di animal wey e catch,
13Rise up, my Papa! Face am, bring am down! Rescue my life from di wicked with your sword, 14with your hand, my Papa, from such people—from people of dis world wey their reward dey for dis life only. You dey fill their belle with wetin you don store keep; their pikin dem plenty, and dem dey leave their plenty things for their small pikin dem.
15But as for me, I go see your face for correct-and-holy way; when I wake, I go satisfy with seeing how you be.
