Psalms 79

¹ O God, the idol worshiper don attack your land. Dem don disrespect your holy Temple and dem don destroy Jerusalem.

² Dem leave the body of your people for vulture, the body of your servant for wild animal to eat.

³ Dem shed your people blood like say na water; blood dey flow like water all around Jerusalem, and nobody remain wey go bury the dead body.

⁴ The nation wey dey around us dey insult us; dem dey laugh us and mock us.

⁵ LORD, you go dey vex for us forever? Shey your anger go continue to dey burn like fire?

⁶ Turn your anger on top nation wey no dey worship you, on top people wey no dey pray to you.

⁷ Because dem don kill your people; dem don destroy your country.

⁸ No punish us for sin wey our ancestor commit. Have mercy on us now wey we don lose hope.

⁹ Help us, O God, make you save us; make you save us and forgive our sin for your honor sake.

¹⁰ Why the nation go dey ask us say, “Where your God dey?” Make you let us see as you punish nation wey dey shed blood of your servants.

¹¹ Make you hear the prisoner pain, and free those wey wan die with your power.

¹² God, pay the other nation back seven time for all the insult wey dem don throw at you.

¹³ Then we, your people, the sheep of your flock go thank you forever and praise you for all time to come.
