Psalms 77

¹ I dey cry loud to God; I cry loud, and him dey hear me.

² For time of trouble I dey pray to the Lord; all night I dey lift my hand in prayer, but I no fit find comfort.

³ When I think of God, I whisper; when I dey meditate, I dey feel discouraged.

⁴ Him dey keep me awake for night; I dey worry say I no fit talk.

⁵ I dey think of days wey don pass and years of long ago.

⁶ I dey spend my night to dey think; I dey meditate, and this na wetin I dey ask myself:

⁷ “Shey God go dey reject us always? Him go ever dey happy with us?

⁸ Him don stop to dey love us? Him promise no dey stand for us again?

⁹ God don forget to dey merciful? Or shey anger don take over the place wey mercy suppose dey?’’

¹⁰ I con talk say, “Wetin pain me pass be say God no get power again.”

¹¹ I go remember the great thing wey you don do, LORD, I go remember the wonder wey you don do for past.

¹² I go think of everything wey you don do; I go meditate on all your mighty work.

¹³ O God, all the things wey you don do dey holy. No God dey great like you.

¹⁴ Na you be God wey dey do miracle; you dey show how mighty you be for all nation.

¹⁵ With your power you don save your people, the descendant of Jacob and Joseph.

¹⁶ O God, when the water see you, dem fear, and the depth of the sea dey shake.

¹⁷ The cloud dey pour down like rain; thunder come down from the sky, and lightning dey flash for all direction.

¹⁸ Your thunder dey crash roll out, and flash of lightning light up the whole world; the earth dey shake.

¹⁹ You waka through wave; you been cross the deep sea, but nobody fit see your footprints.

²⁰ You lead your people like shepherd, and Moses and Aaron dey in charge.
