A Miktam of David for di Cave
For di director of music. To di tune of "No Destroy." A golden psalm of David, wen e run comot from Saul enter di cave.
As e hide inside cave while Saul dey hunt am, David lie down among people wey dia teeth be like spear and dia tongue be like sword. E hide under im Papa wings till di storm pass, den e wake harp and lyre before day break, im heart steady even though nothing never change.
57 1Show me mercy, my Papa, show me mercy, because na for you my soul dey hide; for di shadow of your wings I go hide until di destroying storm dem pass. 2I dey cry out to my Papa, di Most High, to our Papa wey dey complete im purpose for me.
3E go send from heaven come save me; E go rebuke di one wey dey trample me. Selah. My Papa go send im Covenant love and im faithfulness. 4My soul dey among lion dem; I lie down among people wey dey breathe fire — people wey dia teeth be spear and arrow, wey dia tongue be sharp sword. 5Make dem lift you up high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make your glory dey over di whole earth!
6Dem set net for my footstep; my body bend down for heavy load. Dem dig pit for my front, but na demsef fall inside am. Selah. 7My heart stand strong, my Papa, my heart stand strong! I go sing and make music. 8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I go wake up di dawn. 9I go praise you among di people dem, O Sovereign Papa; I go sing about you among di nation dem. 10Because your Covenant love reach up to di heavens, your faithfulness reach di cloud dem. 11Make dem lift you up high, my Papa, pass di heavens! Make your glory dey over di whole earth!
