Evritin wey Yu dey tok dey rite
and di way Yu take judge my kase, dey good.
5 Si, na for inside sin, dem born mi; Yes!
Na rite from di time wey my mama get my belle.
6 But even before dem born mi,

7 So make Yu klean mi from my sins and I go dey klean;

8 My God, make Yu give mi my joy back
and make my bones wey Yu break, strong again.
9 Make Yu nor kontinue to dey look my sins,
but klean mi from all di bad tins wey I don do.
10 My God, make Yu put betta heart inside mi
and make yor spirit strong inside mi too.

Den pipol go offa melu as sakrifice,
