Our Hiding Place and Our Strength
For di oga wey dey lead di music. Na for di sons of Korah. Follow Alamoth. Na song.
Even if earth give way and mountain slide enter sea, dis city get river wey dey run through am and one Person wey dey live inside am. Our Papa dey break bow and burn shield until war stop, then e talk im one line: keep quiet, and know.
46 1Our Papa na our hiding place and our power, na help wey dey always near for time of trouble. 2So we no go fear, even if di earth comot for im place and di mountains fall enter inside di heart of di sea, 3even if im waters dey roar and dey foam, even if di mountains dey shake as e dey rush. Selah.
4River dey wey im small-small streams dey bring joy to di city of our Papa, di holy place wey di Most High dey stay. 5Our Papa dey inside am; notin go fit shake am. Our Papa go help am when morning break. 6Di nations dey vex, di kingdoms dey shake; e raise im voice, di earth just melt comot. 7Di Papa of heaven army dey with us; di Papa of Jacob na our strong tower. Selah. a a v7 “Di Papa of heaven army” na di Naija way to talk one Hebrew title for di commander of all di army for heaven — na di same Papa wey be di strong tower wey notin fit shake for im people.
8Come, look di work of our Papa, wey don bring plenty destruction come di earth. 9E dey make war stop reach di end of di earth; e break di bow and snap di spear, e burn di shields with fire.
10“Make you quiet, and know say na Me be di Papa. I go be lifted high among di nations; I go be lifted high for di earth.” b b v10 Oda translations dey read “know say na God I be”; FHB dey hear di Papa wey dey show im own name, dey call even di nations wey dey vex make dem stop to struggle and know am as Papa.
11Di Papa of heaven army dey with us; di Papa of Jacob na our strong tower. Selah.
