SALM CXIX. 183
II.
7 Cionnus a dh' ionsuicheas an t 6g
giulan is cora maith?
Cionnus, ach le sior-aire gheur
do fhacal Dhe nam flath?
8 Le durachd m' anma, O mo Dhia!
tha mi ga d' iarruidh fein:
Na leig, a Dhe, gii d' theid, aon uair,
air sdachran uait mo cheum.
9 Am chridhe ghleidh mi t fhacal naomh
gu m' shaoradh o gach lochd;
O Dhia ta beannuichte gu brath!
gleidh mi le d' ghras o olc.
10 Air t fhaca'sa tha naomh is ceart
gu h ait ni mise sgeul:
'S annsa le m' anam e gu mor
na stbras air a mheud.
11 Socraichidh mi air t fhacal naomh
mo smaointe gach aon uair,
Is stiuraidh mi mo cheumanna
d'a reir, gu daingean buan.
12 Gabhaidh mi tlachd do t aitheantaibh,
am fad a bhios mi beo;
Is gluaisidh mi d'an reir, le d' ghras,
an aird a dh' ionsuidh gloir.
