1 My Oga God, make Yu listin as I dey pray to Yu!
Make Yu listin to my komplain.
2 My King and my God,

3 Make Yu listin to my vois for morning, bikos evry morning,

4 My God, Yu nor dey like bad tins;
Yu nor fit bear wiked pipol sins.
5 So, proud pipol nor go fit stand for yor present,
bikos Yu hate anybody wey dey do bad tin.
6 Yu go distroy doz wey dey lie well-well.
God nor like doz wey dey kill and deceive pipol.
7 Bikos of yor love wey nor dey die,
I go enter yor house

8 My God, make Yu save mi as Yu dey lead mi,

Make Yu remove all di problem wey dey di road

Wetin dey hongry dem to do, na to distroy odas;
dia troat bi like open grave
and na so-so lie-lie words full dia mout.
10 My God, make Yu disgrace dem.
Make dia own trap katch dem.
Make Yu drive dem,
bikos of dia sins and bikos dem don turn against Yu.
11 But make doz wey Yu dey guide, always dey happy!
Make dem always dey shaut for joy!
Guide dem, so dat doz wey loyal to Yu, go happy!
12 My God, true-true, Yu dey reward doz wey dey fear Yu.
Yu dey always protet dem well-well,
bikos of yor favor wey nor dey end.
