- Free me from my enemies, Oh Baba-God; Protect me from those pipo wey wan

- Save me from pipo wey dey do bad-bad tins, and save me from men wey like
blood.
- See as dem dey wait for me for corner! Rugged men gather toghther dey plan
bad for my back wey I no offend or sin against dem, Oh Lord.
- I no do anytin wrong, but dem wan still fight me. Rise up make you epp me;
look my condition!
- Oh Lord God Almighty, di Oga of Israel, soji yourself make you punish all di
Nations; make you no sorry for wicked traitors.
- Dem don come back for evening dey halla like dogs, dem dey skemp upandan
di city.
- See wetin dey comot for dia mouth—sword dey comot from dia lips, and dem

- But you, Oh Baba-God, you laff dem, you laff di nations wit big laff.
- Chai my strength, I dey look you; you, Oh Baba-God, na you I dey hide my head

pesin for di whole world go know sey na Baba-God dey rule Jacob.
- Dem come back for evening dey halla like dogs, dey skemp di city upanda.
- Dem dey waka upanda for food, dey halla if dem no bellefull.

- Chai my strength, I go sing praises for you; you, Oh Baba-God, na you be my
