"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are attentive to their cry," Jah light
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears," mi say
Deliver from trouble, Jah guide mi way

But di Lord uphold di righteous everywhere
"The righteous will inherit di land," mi proclaim
Dwell forever in Jah holy name

"Blessings crown di head of di righteous,
But violence shut up di mouth of di wicked," mi say
The just stand firm, dem nah go sway

In Jah's wisdom, we answer di call
