A Dé dúlig adateoch/ Cethrur do-raega ní dalb

Commentary on the Psalms by Airbertach mac Cosse

A Dé dúlig adateoch,
is tú mo rúinid co rath,
rim-sa ní rosoa do drech,
úair is tú mo breth cen brath.

Is tú mo rí, is tú mo recht,
is let mo chrí, is let mo chorp,
notcharim a Chríst cen chacht,
úair is lat m'anim innocht.

Ní beo 'ca díchlith, a rí,
rombeo it' rígthreib frim ré
doroimliur in fleid dot' méis,
nímfargba dott' éis, a Dé. A.
