Psalms 28

¹ O LORD, my defender, I dey call on you. Hear my cry! if you no answer me, I go dey among people wey dey go down to world of the dead.

² Hear me when I dey cry to you for help, when I raise my hand up to your holy Temple.

³ No condemn me with the wicked, with those wey dey do evil - those wey their word dey friendly, but wey get hate for their heart.

⁴ Punish them for wetin dem don do, for the evil wey dem commit. Punish them for wetin dem do; give them wetin dem suppose get.

⁵ Dem no dey notice wetin the LORD don do or wetin him don make; so him go punish them and destroy them forever.

⁶ Give praise to the LORD; him don hear my cry for help.

⁷ The LORD dey protect me and him dey defend me; I trust him. He give me help and he dey make me happy; I dey praise him with joyful song.

⁸ God dey protect him people; he dey defend and save the king wey him don choose.

⁹ God, save your people, and bless those wey be your own. Be their shepherd and take care of them forever.
