Save me, O God: for the waters are come in, even unto my soul.

Ta mee cummit shickyr ayns y laagh dowin, raad nagh vel grunt erbee: ta mee er jeet ayns ushtaghyn dowiney, myr shen dy vel ny thooillaghyn roie harrym.

I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is: I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

Ta mee skee lesh geamagh ta my scoarnagh chirrym: ta my hoilshey dy m'ailleil son farkiaght choud er my Yee.

I am weary of crying; my throat is dry: my sight faileth me for waiting so long upon my God.

Adsyn ta dwoaie oc orrym gyn oyr, t'ad ny shlee na renaigyn my ching: adsyn ta my noidyn, as bailliu mish ta neu-chyndagh y stroie, t'ad niartal.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless, are mighty,

Deeck mee daue my reddyn nagh ren mee rieau y ghoaill: Yee, ta fys ayd er my ?nid, as cha vel m'oiljyn keillit vo?ds.

I paid them the things that I never took: God, thou knowest my simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee.

Ny lhig dauesyn ta treishteil aynyds, O Hiarn Yee dy heshaghtyn-caggee, v'er nyn naaraghey son y chooish aym's: ny lhig dauesyn ta dy dty hirrey, v'er nyn goyrt mow my hrooid's, O Hiarn Yee dy Israel.

Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my cause: let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O Lord God of Israel.

As cre'n-oyr? er y choontey ayds ta mee er hurranse oghsan: ta nearey er choodaghey m'eddin.

And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof: shame hath covered my face.

Ta mee myr dooinney joarree da my vraaraghyn: dy jarroo myr fer-quaagh da cloan my vayrey.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren: even an alien unto my mother's children.

Son ta'n ghraih jeean t'aym da dty hie dy jarroo er ghuinney mee gys y chree: as ta ny oghsanyn ocsyn hug scammylt dhyts, er duittym orrym's.

For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me: and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me.

Ren mee dobberan as smaghtaghey mee hene lesh trostey: as va shen er ny hyndaa gys my scammylt.

I wept, and chastened myself with fasting: and that was turned to my reproof.

I put on sackcloth also: and they jested upon me.

T'adsyn ta soie 'sy yiat loayrt m'oï: as ta'n vooinjer veshtal jannoo ronneeaght orrym.

They that sit in the gate speak against me: and the drunkards make songs upon me.

Agh, Hiarn, ta mee jannoo my phadjer hood's: ayns traa nee oo soiaghey jeh.

But, Lord, I make my prayer unto thee: in an acceptable time.

Take me out of the mire, that I sink not: O let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters

Ny lhig da ny thooillaghyn-ushtey mee y vaih, chamoo lhig da'n diunid mee y lhuggey seose: as ny lhig da'n ooig e beeal y yeigh orrym.

Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Clasht rhym, O Hiarn, son ta dty chenjallys-ghraihagh gerjoilagh: chyndaa uss hyms cordail rish earroo dty vyghinyn,

Hear me, O Lord, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies.

Thou hast known my reproof, my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all in thy sight.

Ta dt' oghsan er vrishey my chree, ta mee lane dy hrimshey: yeeagh mee son fer ennagh dy ghoaill chymmey orrym, agh cha row dooinney erbee; chamoo hooar mee unnane erbee dy my gherjaghey.
