S A L M V. 5
Aolbhneas an cridh cha bhi co mor,
's cha bhi an dbigh co ait.
Gu suaimhneach luidhidh mise bios,
is caidlidh mi 'jHith ri m' Dhiaj
O! gleidh mi tearuinte gu brath, ^
fo dhubhar sgail do sgiath.
SALM V.
jT^HoiR cisdeachd, O mo Dhia! do m' ghuth,
oir dhuit is leir mo chridh;
Thoir eisdeachd ghrad do m' ghuidhe dhian,
oir 's tu mo Dhia 's mo Righ.
_ Mo ghuidhe dhurachdach bidh riut
gu moch na h uile la;
'S feithidh mo shuil gu furachair
ri cuideacha do iaimh.
(Agadsa chan 'eil tlachd, a Dhe,

luchd-eucoir isain-iochd:
An dream sin uile chleachd droch-bheus
ni thu gu leir a sgrios.)

Le tlachd tlieid mi gu d' theampull naomh,
a thabhairt aofaidh dhuit;
Arson ro-shalbhireachd do ghrais
mo lamh tha 'n togail riut.

am firinn stiur mo cheum s
