Translation

Neither is it my iniquity nor my sin:/ lord without iniquity have I run and put in line [my steps]./ Rise up to meet me and see:/ and you lord the god of powers god of israhel./ Make for to visit all nations:/ have no mercy on all that work iniquity./ They will return at evening and they shall suffer famine as dogs:/ and shall surround the city./ Behold they will speak in their mouth: and a sword/ in their lips because who has heard./ And you lord will scorn them:/ you will bring to naught all nations./ I will keep my strength to you:/ because you are my receiver:/ my god his mercy shall prevent./ God will display to me over my enemies:/ kill them not lest at any time my peoples forget./ Scatter them in your strength:/ and lay them down lord my protector:/ The sin of their mouth the word of their lips:/ and let them be taken in their pride./ And for cursing and lying:/
