Psalms 94

94 ¹our Papa wey dey bring justice — our Papa; our Papa wey dey bring justice, come shine! ²Wake up, Judge of di earth; give di proud people wetin dem deserve. ³How long di wicked people go dey, our Papa — how long di wicked people go dey laugh with pride?

⁴Dem dey pour proud-proud words comot; all di people wey dey do evil dey boast. ⁵Dem dey crush your people, our Papa, and dey oppress your inheritance. ⁶Dem dey kill di widow and di stranger, and dey murder di pikin wey no get papa. ⁷Dem talk say, “Oga no dey see; God of Jacob no dey notice anything.”

⁸Make una hear well, una people wey no get sense among di people; una foolish people, na wen una go wise? ⁹Di one wey plant ear, e no dey hear? Di one wey make eye, e no dey see? ¹⁰Di one wey dey discipline nations, e no go correct dem — di one wey dey teach mankind knowledge? ¹¹our Papa know di thoughts of mankind, say dem be just breath.

¹²Blessing dey for di person wey you dey discipline, our Papa, and wey you dey teach from your law, ¹³as you dey give am rest from di days of trouble, till dem dig pit for di wicked people. ¹⁴Because our Papa no go leave im people; e no go abandon im inheritance. ¹⁵Because justice go return to di correct-and-holy people, and all di people wey get upright heart go follow am.

¹⁶Who go stand up for me against di wicked people? Who go stand for me against di people wey dey do evil? ¹⁷If our Papa no bin be my help, my soul for don quick go rest for di silence of death. ¹⁸Wen I talk say, “My leg dey slip,” your Covenant love, our Papa, hold me up. ¹⁹Wen worry plenty for inside me, your comfort bring joy come my soul.

²⁰Corrupt throne fit join with you — di one wey dey write injustice put for law? ²¹Dem dey gather together against di life of di correct-and-holy people and dey condemn di innocent people to death. ²²But our Papa don become my strong place, and our Papa be di rock wey I dey hide. ²³E go turn dem own iniquity back to dem and go destroy dem because of dem wickedness; our Papa go destroy dem.
