David Cry Make Papa Rescue Am
For di director of music. With instrument wey get string. A wisdom psalm of David, wen di Ziphite people go meet Saul talk say, “No be for our midst David dey hide?”
Di Ziphites just offer to hand David over to Saul. Im prayer short and e no get drama — save me by your name — and e settle for one steady claim: sure-sure my Papa na my helper, di One wey dey hold my life.
54 1O my Papa, save me by your name, and clear my name by your power. 2O my Papa, hear my prayer; listen to di words wey comot for my mouth. 3Because stranger people don rise against me, and wicked men wey no get mercy wan kill me—dem no dey regard our Papa at all.
4For true, my Papa na my helper; di Sovereign Papa na di One wey dey hold my life up. 5E go turn di evil back on di people wey dey lie in wait for me; for your faithfulness, finish dem. 6With offering wey I bring from my own heart, I go sacrifice to you; I go praise your name, my Papa, because e good. 7Because e don rescue me from every trouble, and my eye don see my enemies fall.
