Psalms 16

¹ Protect me, O God; I trust you for safety.

² I tell God say, “You be my Lord; na from you all the good things wey I get come from.’’

³ The faithful people of God na excellent people: My happiness na to dey with them.

⁴ Those wey dey run to other gods go bring problem on top themselves. I no go take part in their sacrifice; I no go worship their gods.

⁵ God, na you be everything I get, and you dey give me everything I need; my future dey your hand.

⁶ Your gifts to me na wonder; dem be good gifts.

⁷ I praise the LORD, because he dey guide me, and for night my conscience dey warn me.

⁸ I dey always know when God dey around; he dey near, nothing fit shake me.

⁹ So, I dey thankful and happy, and I dey safe completely,

¹⁰ because you dey protect me from death power. I don serve you faithfully, and you no go leave me to the world of the dead.

¹¹ You go show me the road wey lead to life; your presence dey fill me with joy and e dey bring me pleasure forever.
