Ponder my words, O Lord: consider my meditation.

2

O eaisht rish coraa my eam, my Ree, as my Yee: son hood's nee'm my phadjer.

O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I make my prayer.

3

My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord: early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness: neither shall any evil dwell with thee.

5

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

6

Nee uss adsyn y stroie ta loayrt breagyn: ver y Chiarn feoh chammah da'n dooinney folley as da'n er molteyragh.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thine house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8

Leeid mee, O Hiarn, ayns dty chairys, kyndagh rish my noidyn: jean dty raad rea roish m'eddin.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies: make thy way plain before my face.

9

Son cha vel veg y firrinys ayns e veeal: ta ny ayrnyn cheu-sthie oc eer olkys.

For there is no faithfulness in his mouth: their inward parts are very wickedness.

10

Their throat is an open sepulchre: they flatter with their tongue.

11

Give sentence upon them, O God; let them perish through their own imaginations: cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness; for they have rebelled against thee.

12

As lhig dauesyn ooilley ta coyrt nyn dreishteil aynyds, boggey 'ghoaill: bee adsyn dy-kinjagh coyrt booise, son dy vel oo fendeil ad; adsyn ta graihagh er dt' Ennym, vees lane dy voggey aynyds.

And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice: they shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them; they that love thy Name shall be joyful in thee;

13

Son ver uss, Hiarn, dty vannaght da'n fer-cairal: as lesh dty chenjallys foayroil nee oo eshyn y endeil myr lesh eïlley-caggee.

For thou, Lord, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous: and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him as with a shield.
