Cares Casting
Top of the hour to you, big man
I am Pleading a cause, my cause,
Me a bawl, people a strive with me:
Me want you, fuss with them,
weh a fuss with me.
Bring out di shield and buckler
stand up fi mi help.
Me see yuh spear, draw it out
them a persecute di hole a me:
Talk to me soul, me need salvation
Me want them to be confounded
put them to shame, after them soul seeking:
turned them back to confusion, broke down
them devise me hurt, me weak
Let them be chaff before the wind:
Send out yuh warrior angels to chase them
Make them way be dark and slippery:
Tell you warrior angel to persecute them.
They trying to hide, move them.
Drop inna pit fi them
without caused them wah me soul.
bring destruction when the unawares
let them same net them hide, catch them
into that very destruction, let them fall
my soul wants to be joyful with you almighty:
I will rejoice in this massive salvation.
All my bones will talk,
The real general, no one like you
Pull me from these struggles,
yes, me poor and needy
I feel my spoil, is coming
False witnesses have risen;
Them set to charge, I don’t want a war
Them rewarded all evil for good
wanting to mashup my soul.
You see the beaten, my body weak,
my clothing is sackcloth:
Can you help me humbled
my soul with fasting;
I behaved myself after all this bawling
Them was my friends, acting brothers
Me on my knees, can’t stop bawl
Like momma bawling fi one bowy
In my adversity, them rejoiced,
gathered themselves together: I saw them,
with all kind of objects gathering
I did not know; them tear me, and laugh:
With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
them gnashed upon me with big bite.
Lord almighty, how long will you watch this?
rescue my soul from them destructions,
I really feel like a lion with no roar.
I want to focus on you, no distractions
in the great congregation:
your name with praise
Let not them that are mine enemies
wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye
that hate me without a cause.
For them not speaking peace:
the talk is deceitful
matters bigger than them
I’m just one country boy talking
Yea, they opened their mouth
wide against me, and said, Aha, aha,
“Nothing good will come of me”
I know yuh seeing all this almighty:
Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favor my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually,
Let the almighty be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity.
My tongue will speak of thy righteousness
and of thy praise all day long.
The End
