Dem Cover Am, Dem Count Am Clean
Na David own. Na psalm of wisdom.
David talk wetin silence cost am — im bone dey waste, im strength dry like summer heat — and how confession end am for one sentence. Then e turn to teaching: no be mule wey dem must drag; come while our Papa still dey wey person fit find am.
32 1See as person wey dem don forgive im rebellion dey blessed well well, wey dem don cover im sin finish! a a v1 Paul quote dis verse and di one wey follow am as di main center of how we take dey correct with our Papa — na forgiveness wey dem give us free, no be anything wey we work for (Romans 4:7-8). 2See as di person wey our Papa no count any guilt put for im head, and wey no get deceit for im spirit, dey blessed well well!
3Wen I keep quiet, my bones waste away as I dey groan di whole day. 4Kasi for day and night your hand dey heavy for my body; my strength dry up like wen sun-heat dey burn for dry season. Selah
5Den I gree my sin give you, and I no hide my guilt; I talk say, “I go confess my rebellion give our Papa” — and you forgive di guilt of my sin. Selah
6Naim make everybody wey dey faithful pray give you wen dem fit still find you; for true, wen di big water rise, e no go reach am. 7Na you be hiding place for me; you dey keep me away from trouble; you dey surround me with shouting of deliverance. Selah
8I go show you di way and teach you di road wey you suppose follow; I go advise you as my eye dey watch you. 9No be like horse or mule, wey no get sense, wey dem gatz control with iron-mouth and rope, if not e no go gree come near you.
10Di sorrow of wicked people plenty, but person wey trust our Papa, im Covenant love dey surround am. 11Make una happy for our Papa and rejoice, una wey dey correct-and-holy; shout with joy, all of una wey get correct heart!
