Psalms 83

83 ¹O our Papa, no keep quiet; no hold your peace or stay still, O our Papa. ²Because look, your enemy dem dey make noise; those wey hate you don raise dia head. ³Against your people dem dey plan wickedness for secret; dem dey gather togeda against those wey you treasure. ⁴Dem talk say, “Make we come, make we wipe dem comot as one nation; make dem no remember di name of Israel again.” ⁵Wit one mind dem dey plan togeda; against you dem make Covenant— ⁶di tent dem of Edom and di Ishmaelite dem, Moab and di Hagrite dem, ⁷Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia togeda wit di people wey dey Tyre. ⁸Assyria join dem too; dem don become di strong arm for di pikin dem of Lot. Selah

⁹Do dem as you do Midian, as you do Sisera and Jabin for di river Kishon, ¹⁰wey dem destroy for En-dor and dem turn to manure for di ground. ¹¹Make dia big men be like Oreb and Zeeb, all dia prince dem like Zebah and Zalmunna, ¹²wey talk say, “Make we take for ourselves di pasture dem of God.” ¹³O my Papa, make dem be like dust wey dey turn round, like chaff wey wind dey blow. ¹⁴As fire dey burn troway forest, as flame dey set mountain dem on fire, ¹⁵na so make you chase dem wit your storm and put fear for dem wit your whirlwind. ¹⁶Cover dia face wit shame, so dat dem go find your name, O our Papa. ¹⁷Make dem carry shame and fear forever; make dem perish wit disgrace, ¹⁸so dat dem go know say na you alone, wey your name na our Papa, be di Most High over all di earth.
