When wilt thou come unto me: I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.

Cha goym drogh chooish erbee ayns laue: ta dwoaie aym er ny peccaghyn dy neu-firrinys: cha jean veg nyn lheid lhiantyn hym.

I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of unfaithfulness: there shall no such cleave unto me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso leadeth a godly life: he shall be my servant.

10

Cha jean persoon erbee molteyragh cummal ayns my hie: cha surr-ym breagerey dy ve ayns my hilley.

There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land: that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
