I poured out my complaints before him: and shewed him of my trouble.

Tra va my spyrryd ayns trimshey, va sooill ayd er my chassan: ayns y raad va mee shooyll t'ad dy follit er hoiaghey ribbey er my hon.

When my spirit was in heaviness thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4

Yeeagh mee myrgeddin er my laue yesh: as honnick mee nagh row fer erbee yinnagh goaill rhym.

I looked also upon my right hand: and saw there was no man that would know me.

O deliver me from my persecutors: for they are too strong for me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name: which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.
