Dem Sabi Am for Judah
For di director of music: with instrument wey get string. Na psalm of Asaph, one song.
The battle don already finish before the psalm start. For Salem the arrows, shields and swords don scatter, warriors dey sleep, horses lie down dey shock. The point no be Israel sabi war, na say our Papa rise up to save the humble people of the earth.
76 1Dem sabi our Papa for Judah; im name big well-well for Israel. 2Im tent dey for Salem, di place wey e dey stay dey for Zion. a a v2 Salem na old name for Jerusalem — di city wey our Papa choose make e make im house. 3Na dia e break di arrow wey dey shine, di shield and di sword and di weapon of war. Selah.
4You dey shine, you get power pass di mountain wey full of prey. 5Dem strip di strong soldier dem of di things wey dem thief; dem sink inside dia sleep; no single fighting man fit raise im hand. 6As you talk sharp-sharp, Papa of Jacob, both chariot and horse just lie down, dem no fit move. 7You, na you dem suppose fear! Who fit stand for your front wen your vex don rise? 8From heaven you talk your judgment; di earth fear and keep quiet, 9wen our Papa rise up to judge, to save all di humble people of di earth. Selah.
10For true, di vex of human being go praise you, and you go wear wetin remain of am. b b v10 Even wen human being vex against God, e still end up bring am glory — e dey wear dia anger like trophy. 11Make your promise to your Papa and do wetin you promise; make everybody wey dey around am bring gift give di one wey dem suppose fear, 12di one wey dey cut off di spirit of prince dem, di one wey di king dem of di earth dey fear.
