O Yee, cre'n-fa t'ou freayll oo hene voïn choud dy hraa: cre'n-fa ta dty yymmoose cha cheh noi kirree dty phastyr?

O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?

O smooinee er dty phobble t'ou er chionnaghey, as er veaysley er dyn chenn earish.

O think upon thy congregation: whom thou hast purchased, and redeemed of old.

Smooinee er sheeloghe dty eiraght: as er cronk Sion, ayn t'ou er chummal.

Think upon the tribe of thine inheritance: and mount Sion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Lift up thy feet, that thou mayest utterly destroy every enemy: which hath done evil in thy sanctuary.

Ta dty noidyn gyllaghey ayns mean dty haglym cooidjagh: as soiaghey seose nyn mergaghyn son cowraghyn.

Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy congregations: and set up their banners for tokens.

Agh nish t'ad brishey sheese ooilley yn obbyr grainnit eck: lesh teighyn as oardyn.

But now they break down all the carved work thereof: with axes and hammers.

T'ad er hoiaghey dt'ynnydyn casherick er aile: as er lhieggal sheese ynnyd-vaghee dt' Ennym, eer gys y laare.

They have set fire upon thy holy places: and have defiled the dwelling-place of thy Name, even unto the ground.

Yea, they said in their hearts, Let us make havock of them altogether: thus have they burnt up all the houses of God in the land.

Cha vel shin fakin nyn gowraghyn cha vel phadeyr er-mayrn: cha vel unnane ta toiggal ca?d.

We see not our tokens, there is not one prophet more: no, not one is there among us, that understandeth any more.

O Yee, caïd nee eshyn ta dt'oi yn vee-onnor shoh y yannoo: caïd nee yn noid loayrt dy mollaghtagh noi dt'Ennym, nee son dy bragh?

O God, how long shall the adversary do this dishonour: how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy Name, for ever?

Cre'n-fa t'ou tayrn back dty laue: kys te nagh vel oo goaill dty laue-yesh ass dt oghrish dy chur mow yn noid?

Why withdrawest thou thy hand: why pluckest thou not thy right hand out of thy bosom to consume the enemy!

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

Cooinee er shoh, O Hiarn, kys ta'n noid er oltooaney: as kys ta'n pobble ommidagh er loayrt goan mollaghtagh noi dty Ennym.

Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy hath rebuked: and how the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the presumption of them that hate thee increaseth ever more and more.
