The Bible

1

Cur briwnys er my heu, O Yee, as jean my chooish y endeil noi'n sleih mee-chrauee: O jean m'y livrey veih'n dooinney molteyragh as olkyssagh.

Give sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.

2

Son uss Jee my niart, cre'n-fa t'ou er my scughey voïd: as cre hon ta mee goll cha trimshagh choud as ta'n noid jannoo tranlaase orrym?

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

3

O cur magh dty hoilshey as dty irriney, dy vod ad my leeideil: as mee y choyrt lhieu gys dty chronk chasherick, as gys dty ynnyd-vaghee.

O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.

4

Dy voddym goll gys altar Yee, dy jarroo gys Jee my voggey as my yennallys: as er y chlaasagh ver-yms booise dhyts, O Yee, my Yee.

And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

5

Cre'n-fa t'ou cha trimshagh, O m'annym: as cre hon t'ou cha anveagh cheusthie jee'm?

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?

6

O cur dty hreishteil ayns Jee: son ver-yms foast booise da, eh ta slaynt my eddin, as my Yee!

O put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.
