The Bible

1

Bee myghinagh dooys, O Yee, bee myghinagh dou, son ta m'annym treishteil aynyd: as fo scaa dty skianyn vees my chemmyrk derrey vees y tranlaase shoh er n'gholl shagh-ym.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee: and under the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be over-past.

2

Nee'm geam gys y Jee smoo ard: dy jarroo gys y Jee nee yn chooish t'aym ayns laue y chooilleeney.

I will call unto the most high God: even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.

3

Ver eh cooney hym veih niau: as sauee eh mee veih'n scammylt echeysyn baillish mec y stroie.

He shall send from heaven: and save me from the reproof of him that would eat me up.

4

Ver Jee magh e vyghin as e ynrickys: ta m'annym mastey lionyn.

God shall send forth his mercy and truth: my soul is among lions.

5

As ta mee my lhie dy jarroo mastey cloan gheiney, ta soit er aile: nyn veeacklyn t'ad shleiyghyn as sideyn, as nyn jengey ny chliwe gyere.

And I lie even among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

6

Soie oo hene seose, O Yee, erskyn ny niaughyn: as dty ghloyr erskyn ooilley'n seihll.

Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.

7

T'ad er hoiaghey lieen son my chassyn, as er hionney sheese m'annym: t'ad er chleiy jeeg roym as ad-hene er duittym ayns y vean echey.

They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it themselves.

8

Ta my chree soit er, O Yee, ta my chree soit er: goym arrane, as ver-ym moylley.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, and give praise.

9

Dooisht seose, my ghloyr; dooisht lute as chlaasagh: dooisht-yms mee hene feer voghey.

Awake up, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I myself will awake right early.

10

Ver-ym booise dhyts, O Hiarn mastey'n pobble: as goym arrane hoods mastey ny ashoonyn;

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

11

Son ta mooadys dty vyghin roshtyn gys ny niaughyn: as dt' irriney gys ny bodjallyn.

For the greatness of thy mercy reacheth unto the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.

12

Soie oo hene seose, O Yee, erskyn ny niaughyn: as dty ghloyr erskyn ooilley yn seihll.

Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
