Nations Dey Boil for Vex
Kings and nations gather to throw off di rule of our Papa and E Anointed One. E laugh, put E King for Zion, and hand am di nations. Then di psalm turn to warn di rulers demsef: bow, and hide inside am while time still dey.
2 1Why di nations dey rage, and di people dey plan wetin no go work? 2Di kings of di earth take dia stand, and di rulers gather togeda to plan against our Papa and against im Anointed One — Jesus — a a v2 Di Anointed One — Messiah — na Jesus. Di early church pray dis very psalm about di rulers wey gang up against am (Acts 4:25-26). 3“Make we tear comot di chains wey dem put for our body,” na so dem talk, “and throw dia ropes comot from us.”
4Our Papa, wey sidon for im throne for heaven, dey laugh; di Papa wey be Oga over all dey scorn dem. 5Den e go talk to dem for im vex and go make dem fear well-well for im hot anger:
6“Na me myself put my King for Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I go announce di decree of our Papa: e tell me say, “You be my Pikin — Jesus — today I don born you.” b b v7 Our Papa im decree wey no dey end to di Pikin. Di New Testament take dis words apply am direct to Jesus — Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 5:5 — dey declare am as di Pikin wey di Papa born. 8“Ask me, and I go make di nations your inheritance, and di ends of di earth your own property. 9You go break dem with iron rod; you go scatter dem like potter im jar.”
10So now, una kings, make una wise; make dem warn una, una rulers of di earth. 11Serve our Papa with deep respect, and rejoice with trembling. 12Kiss di Pikin — Jesus — or e go vex and you go perish for di road, because im anger fit blaze up sharp-sharp. Blessed na all wey dey take refuge for im hand. c c v12 Di psalm end with refuge for di Pikin — Jesus. To trust am na to make di Papa wey put am for im throne welcome you come house.
