Translation

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet are swift/ to pour forth blood./ Destruction and unhappiness in their ways:/ and they have not known the way of peace:/ there is no fear of god before their eyes./ Shall they not know all who are occupied in iniquity:/ who devour my people like they eat bread./ They have not called upon the lord: there they have been agitated/ for fear where there was no fear./ Because the lord is in the just generation:/ you have thrown into confusion the counsel of the poor man:/ because the lord is his hope./ Who shall give from sion the salvation of israhel:/ when the lord shall have turned away/ the captivity of his people:/ iacob shall rejoice/ and israhel shall be glad./




Transcription

Quor[um] os maledictione et amaritudine / plenum est: veloces pedes eorum / ad effundendum sanguinem. / Contritio et infelicitas in viis eor[um]: / et viam pacis non cognoverunt: / non est timor dei ante oc[u]los eor[um]. / Nonne cognoscent om[ne]s q[u]i op[er]ant[ur] iniq[u]itatem: / qui devorant plebem mea[m] sicut esca[m] panis. / D[omi]n[u]m non invocaverunt: illic trepidaver[un]t / timore ubi non erat timor. / Q[uonia]m d[omi]n[u]s in generatione iusta est: / consilium inopis confudistis: / quoniam d[omi]n[u]s spes eius est. / Quis dabit ex sion salutare israhel: / cum averterit dominus / captivitatem plebis su[a]e: / exultabit iacob / et letabitur israhel. /
