The Bible

1

Caid nee oo my yarrood, O Hiarn, nee son dy bragh? caïd nee oo follaghey dt'eddin voym?

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2

Caïd nee'm coyrle y hirrey ayns m'annym, as ve cha seaghnit ayns my chree; caïd vees my noidyn boggyssagh harrym?

How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?

3

Smooinee orrym, as eaisht rhym, O Hiarn my Yee: soilshee my hooillyn, nagh gadlym ayns baase.

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death.

4

Er-aggle dy jir my noid, Ta mee er gheddyn y varriaght er: son my vee'm er my hilgey sheese, nee adsyn ta dy my heaghney boggey 'ghoaill jeh.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: for if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.

5

Agh ta my hreishteil ayns dty vyghin. as nee my chree boggey 'ghoaill ayns dty haualtys.

But my trust is in thy mercy: and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

6

Neem's arrane y ghoaill jeh'n Chiarn, son dy vel eh er ghellal rhym er aght cha graihagh: dy jarroo ver-ym moylley da ennym y Chiarn smoo ard.

I will sing of the Lord, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me: yea, I will praise the Name of the Lord Most Highest.
