Translation

and from the depths of the earth you have brought me back again./ You have multiplied your greatness:/ and being turned you have comforted me./ For I also will confess to you in the implements of psalms/ your truth god: I will sing to you on the cythera/ holy one of israhel./ My lips shall rejoice when I shall sing to you:/ and my soul which you have redeemed./ Yes and my tongue all the day shall meditate/ your justice: when they shall be thrown into confusion and ashamed/ who seek evils against me./


Psalm 71
The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents

GOD give your JUDGEMENT to the king: and/ your justice/ to the son of the king./ To judge your people/ in justice:/ and your poor/ in judgement./ Let the mountains receive/

Transcription

et de abyssis terr[a]e reduxisti me. / Multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam: / et conversus consolatus es me. / Nam et ego confitebor tibi in vasis psalmi / veritatem tuam d[eu]s: psallam tibi in cythara / sanctus israhel. / Exultabunt labia mea cu[m] cantavero tibi: / et anima mea quam redemisti. / Sed et lingua mea tota die meditabitur / iusticiam tuam: cum confusi et reveriti / fuerint qui querunt mala michi.
Reges tharsis et insul[a]e munera offerent
D[EU]S IUDICIU[M] tuum regi da: et / iusticiam tuam / filio regis. / Iudicare populu[m] / tuum in iustitia: / et pauperes tuos / in iudicio. / Suscipiant montes /
