I will be patient. If there's one thing I've learned with tattoos, you gotta be sure you get what you want! Thank you so much!

Well if it's from the Bible I wouldn't trust it.
If you really need help, put your cup in a bucket until it stops running over or else drink quicker.

It's a direct quote from An Bíobla Naofa, so barring typos, it should be perfect. I'm having trouble opening Adobe today, so I can't check it.

Just recently acquired a Scottish Gàidhlig New Testament, so if it is in the NT and you give me chapter and verse, I can find you the Gàidhlig version.

It's not New Testament, I'm afraid. It's Psalm 23 ("The Lord is my shepherd...").

Correct as per the Irish Bible.
Warning: Reasonable command of Irish - but I still make basic errors.
