Psalms 57

¹ Dey merciful to me, O God, get mercy on me, because na your safety bring me come. For the shadow of your wing I dey get protection until the terrible storm don finish.

² I dey call to God, the Most High, wey dey supply everything I need.

³ Him go answer from heaven and save me; he go defeat those wey dey oppress me. God go show me hin constant love and faithfulness.

⁴ Na enemy surround me, enemy wey be like lion wey dey hungry for human body. Their teeth be like spear and arrow; their tongue be like sharp sword.

⁵ O God, make you show your greatness for heaven, and your glory on top all the earth.

⁶ My enemy don spread net so that dem go fit catch me; trouble don overcome me. Dem dig pit for my way, but dem fall inside am by themselves.

⁷ I get full confidence, O God; I go sing and praise you!

⁸ My soul, wake up! My harp and lyre, wake up! I go wake up the sun.

⁹ O God, I go thank you among nations. I go praise you among people.

¹⁰ Your constant love dey reach heaven; your faithfulness dey touch the sky.

¹¹ Make you show your greatness for heaven, O God, and your glory on top all the earth.
