Psalms 34

34 ¹I go bless our Papa every time; im praise go dey my mouth always.

²My soul dey take our Papa spark; make di humble people hear am make dem happy. ³Make we make our Papa big together; make we lift im name up as one.

⁴I look for our Papa, and e answer me; e save me comot from all my fear dem. ⁵Dem wey dey look im side dey shine; shame no go ever catch dia face. ⁶Dis poor man cry out, and our Papa hear am; e save am from all im wahala. ⁷Di angel of our Papa dey camp round dem wey dey fear am, and e dey rescue dem.

⁸Taste am make you see say our Papa good; blessing dey for di person wey dey hide inside am. ⁹Fear our Papa, una wey be im holy people, because dem wey dey fear am no dey lack anytin. ¹⁰Di young lion dem dey hungry and dey lack, but dem wey dey seek our Papa no dey lack any good tin.

¹¹Come, my pikin dem, hear me; I go teach una how to fear our Papa. ¹²Who be di person wey want life and love plenty good days? ¹³Hold your tongue from evil and your mouth from talk lie. ¹⁴Turn comot from evil, do good; seek peace and run go follow am.

¹⁵Di eyes of our Papa dey on di correct-and-holy people, and im ears dey open to dia cry. ¹⁶Di face of our Papa dey against dem wey dey do evil, to rub dia memory comot from di ground. ¹⁷Di correct-and-holy people cry out, and our Papa hear; e save dem from all dia wahala. ¹⁸Our Papa dey near to dem wey dia heart don break; e dey save dem wey dia spirit don crush.

¹⁹Di correct-and-holy person dey see plenty suffer, but our Papa dey save am comot from all of dem. ²⁰our Papa dey guard all di correct-and-holy person bone dem; not even one of dem break.

²¹Evil go kill di wicked person, and dem wey hate di correct-and-holy people go carry blame. ²²Our Papa dey redeem di soul of im servant dem; nobody wey dey hide inside am go carry blame.
