EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

REALLY-WANT PRAYER ME EXPRESS, alt.IDEA INSIDE-SELF HEART, YOU ACCEPT LORD. YOU MY FOUNDATION. MY DEBT, YOU PAY-OFF.


Notes: REALLY-WANT - the sign WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.

ME - Underlined prounouns (ME, YOU, HE) are honorific index (HON.-IX), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

INSIDE-SELF - The FT of [C] are held against the chest and stuff the FT of [O^] into the [C] twice.

FOUNDATION - NDH [S], PO > signer, FO > DS, - held out with arm parallel to the chest and DH [S], PO > signer, strikes hand from below and then strikes elbow from below.

PAY-OFF - Middle finger of [open 8] slides down NDH [B] from FT to wrist plys CLEAN.

Lyrics:

Lord, may the words in my mouth, and may the meditation in my heart, be accepted in Thy sight. You are my strength and my redeemer.
