For di director of music. With instrument wey get string. Na psalm of David.
Na night prayer for inside public bad-mouth. David beg im Papa make E answer, tell di men wey dey shame am make dem stop to love empty words, and e talk say di joy wey E give am pass better harvest. E end by lying down to sleep for safety.
4 1Answer me wen I call, O my Papa, di one wey dey hold my correct-and-holy way steady. Wen trouble press me, You open road make I fit breathe; show me grace and hear my prayer. 2How long, una people, una go turn my honour to shame? How long una go love empty words and dey run after lie? Selah a a v2 Selah: na musical or worship mark for di psalms; wetin e mean well-well no too clear, but e fit dey show say make dem pause or make music play small.
3But make una know say our Papa don set apart di faithful one for imsef; our Papa dey hear wen I call am. 4Make una shake for fear, and no sin; search una heart for una bed, and keep quiet. Selah
5Bring di sacrifice of correct-and-holy way, and put una trust for our Papa. 6Plenty people dey talk say, “Who go show us anytin wey good?” O our Papa, make di light of Your face shine on us!
7You don put more joy for my heart pass di one wey dem dey get wen dem grain and dem new wine plenty. 8For peace I go lie down and sleep, because na You alone, O my Papa, dey make me live for safety.
