Psalms 139

¹ LORD, you don check me and you know me.

² You know everything wey I do; from far you know wetin I dey think.

³ You dey see me, wether I dey work or rest; you know all my action.

⁴ Even before I talk, you know wetin I wan talk already.

⁵ You dey around me for every side; you dey protect me with your power.

⁶ The knowledge wey you get about me dey deep; e pass wetin I know.

⁷ Where I fit go make I escape from you? Where I fit run away from your presence?

⁸ If I go heaven, you dey there; if I lie for world of the dead, you dey there.

⁹ If I fly away pass the east or live for far place in the west,

¹⁰ you go dey there to lead me, you go dey there to help me.

¹¹ I fit ask darkness make e hide me or make light wey dey around me turn night,

¹² but even darkness no dey dark for you, and night bright like day. Darkness and light na the same to you.

¹³ Na you create every part of me; na you put me together for my mama belle.

¹⁴ I praise you because dem suppose fear you; all wetin you dey do dey strange and wonderful. I know am with all my heart.

¹⁵ When my bone dey form, wey e dey join together for my mama belle, when I dey grow for there in secret, you know say I dey there.

¹⁶ You see me before dem born me. The days wey you set for me don dey inside your record book, before dem even start to dey happen.

¹⁷ O God, he dey difficult to know wetin you dey think; dem plenty!

¹⁸ If I count them, e go plenty pass grain of sand. When I wake, I still dey with you.

¹⁹ O God, I wish say you go kill the wicked! I just dey wish say violent people go leave me alone;

²⁰ Dem dey talk wicked things about you; dem speak evil things against your name.

²¹ O LORD, I hate those wey hate you!

²² I hate them with total hatred; I dey see them as my enemy.

²³ Check me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and find out wetin I dey think.

²⁴ Find out if evil dey inside me and guide me for everlasting way.
