Translation

the lord is the receiver of my soul./ Turn away the evils to my enemies:/ and in your truth destroy them./ I will voluntarily sacrifice to you: and/ I will confess to your name lord/ because it is good./ Because you have delivered me out of all trouble:/ and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.


Psalm 54
Who will give me wings like a dove
HEAR my prayer GOD:/ and do not despise/ my supplication:/ be attentive to me/ and hear me./ I am made sorrowful/ in my experience: and am troubled/ at the voice of the enemy: and at the tribulation of the sinner./ Because they have cast injustices on me:/ and in anger they were annoying to me./

Transcription

d[omi]n[u]s susceptor est anim[a]e me[a]e. / Averte mala inimicis meis: / inveritate tua disperde illos. / Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi: et / confitebor nomini tuo domine / quoniam bonum est. / Q[uonia]m exom[n]i tribulatione eripuisti me: / et sup[er] inimicos meos despexit oc[u]l[u]s m[eu]s.
Quis dabit mi[hi] pen/nas sic[ut] columbe
EXAUDI D[EU]S / oratione[m] meam: / et ne despexeris / deprecatione[m] mea[m]: / intende michi / et exaudi me. / Contristat[us] sum / in exercitatione / mea: et c[on]t[ur]bat[us] su[m] / a voce inimici: et a tribulatione peccatoris. / Q[uonia]m declinaverunt in me iniquitates: / et in ira molesti erant michi. /
