14. Na you break di head of di dragon to pieces, and you con give am as food to di
    desert nations.
15. Na you open springs and streams; you make big river dry.
16. Na you get di day, na you sef get di night; na you make di sun plus moon.
17. Na you make all di borders of dis earth. Na you make cold- season plus hot-season.
18. No forget how di enemies don yab you, chai Baba-God, and how mumu pipo bad mouth your name.
19. No give di life of your dove to wild animals; no forget di lives of those pipo wey dey suffer forever.

    corner for di land.
21. No let pipo wey dem dey oppress use disgrace run go back; make poor pipo plus
    pipo wey need epp—praise your name.
22. Rise up Oh Baba-God make you defend your way; remember as mumu pipo dey yab you everi day.
