Translation

The just have cried and the lord heard them:/ and out of all their troubles he has delivered them./ The lord is near to them that are afflicted of heart:/ and he will save the humble of spirit./ The afflictions of the just are many:/ and out of all these the lord will deliver them./ The lord keeps all their bones:/ not one of them shall be crumbled./ The death of sinners is very evil:/ and they who hate the just shall offend./ The lord will redeem the souls of his servants:/ and all who trust in him shall not offend./


Psalm 34
Take hold of arms and shield
LORD JUDGE/ those who hurt me: overcome them that opp/ose me./ Take hold of arms and shield:/ and rise up to help me./ Shoot the spear and shut up the way/ against them that persecute me:/ say to my soul I am your salvation./

Transcription

Clamaverunt iusti et d[omi]n[u]s exaudivit eos: / et exom[n]ib[us] tribulationib[us] eor[um] lib[er]avit eos. / Iuxta est d[omi]n[u]s his qui tribulato s[un]t corde: / et humiles spiritu salvabit. / Mult[a]e tribulationes iustor[um[: / et de om[n]ib[us] his liberabit eos d[omi]n[u]s. / Custodit d[omi]n[u]s omnia ossa eoru[um]: / unum ex his non conteretur. / Mors peccator[um] pessima: / et qui oderunt iustum delinquent. / Redimet d[omi]n[u]s animas servor[um] suor[um]: / et non delinquent om[ne]s qui sp[er]ant in eo. /
Apprehende arma et scutu[m]
IUDICA DOMINE / nocentes me: expugna im/pugnantes me. / Apprehende arma et scutum: / et exurge inadiutoriu[m] michi. / Effunde frameam et conclude / adversus eos qui p[er]sequunt[ur] me: / dic anim[a]e me[a]e salus tua ego su[m]. /
