Translation

Nevertheless in a flood of many waters:/ they shall not come near to him/ You are my refuge from the trouble/ that surrounds me: my joy/ deliver me from them that surround me./ I will give to you understanding and I will instruct you:/ in this way in which you will walk:/ I will fix my eyes upon you./ Do not be like the horse and the mule:/ who have no understanding./ With bit and bridle [that] bind fast their jaws:/ who do not come near to you./ Many are the lashes of the sinner:/ but mercy shall surround him who hopes in the lord./ Be glad in the lord and rejoice the just:/ and glory all the virtuous of heart.

Transcription

Veruntamen in diluvio aquar[um] multaru[m]: / ad eum non approximabunt / Tues refugium meum atribulatione qu[a]e / circumdedit me: exaltatio mea / erue me a circumdantibus me. / Intellectu[m] tibi dabo et instruam te: / in via hac qua gradieris: / firmabo super te oculos meos. / Nolite fieri sicut equuis et mulus: / quib[us] non est intellectus. / Inchamo et freno maxillas eor[um] constringe: / qui non approximant adte. / Multa flagella peccatoris: / sperantem autem in d[omi]no / misericordia circumdabit. / Letamini in d[omi]no et exultate iusti: / et gl[ori]amini om[ne]s recti corde. /
