Sons of Korah: Song of Deep Longing
For di director of music; according to di Gittith. Na psalm of di sons of Korah.
One pilgrim dey envy the sparrow wey dey build im nest for our Papa altar all year round. As the travellers dey pass through dry valley, dem dey leave springs for their back, dey go from strength to strength. One day for those courts pass one thousand anywhere else.
84 1See as your dwelling place fine so, O Papa of heaven army! 2My soul dey long, e even dey faint, for di courts of our Papa; my heart and my body dey sing with joy to our living Papa. 3Even di sparrow don find house, and di swallow don find nest for imself, wia e fit raise im pikin dem—for your altar dem, O Papa of heaven army, my King and my Papa. 4Blessing dey for those wey dey stay for your house; dem dey praise you all di time. Selah
5Blessing dey for di person wey im strength dey inside you, wey get di road to Zion for im heart. 6As dem dey pass through di Valley of Baca, dem dey turn am to place wey water dey spring; di early rain sef dey cover am with blessing. a a v6 Baca mean "weeping." For di road wey dey go our Papa, even di valley of tears dey turn to place wey water dey spring. 7Dem dey go from strength reach strength; each one dey appear before our Papa for Zion. 8O Papa of heaven army, hear my prayer; listen, O our Papa of Jacob. Selah
9Look our shield, O our Papa, and look di person wey you don anoint. b b v9 "Di person wey you don anoint" na Israel im king, God im chosen ruler wey dem set apart for im people. 10Because one day for your courts better pass one thousand day for anywia else. I go rather be doorkeeper for di house of my Papa than stay for di tent of wicked people. 11Because our Papa na sun and shield; our Papa dey give grace and glory; e no dey hold back any good thing from those wey dey waka for di correct-and-holy way. 12O Papa of heaven army, blessing dey for di person wey dey trust for you!
