Dem carry one vine comot for Egypt, plant am, and e grow until im shade cover mountains — and now im walls don break and people wey dey pass dey pluck the fruit. Three times the same refrain rise: restore us, our Papa, make your face shine, so that we go be saved.
80 1Hear, Shepherd of Israel — our Papa — you wey dey lead Joseph like sheep; you wey sidon for im throne on top di cherubim, shine kom out. 2For front of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, wake up your power; kom save us! 3Bring us back, our Papa; make your face shine, so dat we go save. 4O Papa wey be Oga of di army of heaven, how long you go dey burn with vex against di prayer of your people? 5You don feed dem with bread of tears; you make dem drink tears full measure. 6You make us sometin wey our neighbors dey fight over, and our enemies dey laugh us among demsef. 7Bring us back, Papa wey be Oga of di army of heaven; make your face shine, so dat we go save. 8You bring one vine comot from Egypt; you drive di nations comot and plant am. a a v8 Di vine wey our Papa carry comot from Egypt na Israel; later Jesus call imsef “di true vine” — di faithful one wey inside am di people of di Papa finally dey bear fruit. 9You clear di ground for im front; e take deep root and fill di land. 10Di mountains cover with im shade, di mighty cedar trees with im branches. 11E send im branches reach di sea and im young shoot reach di River. b b v11 Di River: na di Euphrates, di big river wey mark Israel im border for northeast side. 12Why you don break down im walls, so dat everybody wey dey pass for road dey pluck im fruit? 13Di wild pig from di bush dey destroy am, and every animal for di field dey chop am. 14Kom back, Papa wey be Oga of di army of heaven! Look down from heaven and see; take care of dis vine, 15di root wey your right hand plant, and di son wey you raise up strong for yoursef. 16Dem don burn am with fire, dem don cut am down; dem dey perish for di rebuke of your face. 17Make your hand rest on top di man of your right hand, on top di pikin of man wey you raise up strong for yoursef. c c v17 Israel pray say make di “pikin of man” wey dey for our Papa im right hand be raised up; Jesus take dat same title for imsef and sidon for di Papa im right hand — di true Pikin wey inside am di prayer answer. 18Den we no go turn comot from you; give us life, and we go call your name. 19Bring us back, Papa wey be Oga of di army of heaven; make your face shine, so dat we go save.
