¹ O God, teach the king to dey judge with your righteousness; share your own justice with am.

² So that him go rule on top your people with justice and lead those wey dey oppressed with righteousness.

³ The land go enjoy your prosperity; e go experience righteousness.

⁴ Make the king judge the poor well; make he help those wey dey in need and defeat those wey dey oppress others.

⁵ Make your people worship you so far say sun dey shine, so far say the moon dey give light, for ages to come.

⁶ Make the king be like rain on the field, like shower wey dey fall on the land.
