Deus meus adiuva me Tabhair dom do shearch, a Mhic ghil Dé Tabhair dom do shearch, a Mhic ghil Dé Deus meus adiuva me.
Domine da quod peto a te, Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian ghlan ghlé, Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian ghlan ghlé, Domine da quod peto a te.
Domine, Domine, exaudi me, M’anam bheith lán de d’ghrá, a Dhé, M’anam bheith lán de d’ghrá, a Dhé, Domine, Domine exaudi me.
