Translation

Great was the sound of the waters:/ the clouds gave up sound./ For indeed your arrows pass:/ the voice of your thunder in a wheel./ Your lightning lit up the world:/ the earth shook and trembled./ Your way is in the sea and your paths in many waters:/ and your footsteps shall not be known./ You have lead away your people like sheep:/ in the hand of moyses and aaron./


Psalm 77
Direct your attention my people

DIRECT your attention/ my people to my law:/ bend your ear/ to the words/ of my mouth./ I will open my mouth in parables:/ I will speak propositions/ from the beginning./ So great things as/

Transcription

Multitudo sonitus aquarum: / vocem dederunt nubes. / Etenim sagitt[a]e tu[a]e transeunt: / vox tonitrui tui in rota. / Illuxerunt coruscationes tu[a]e orbi terr[a]e: / commota est et contremuit terra. / In mari via tua et semit[a]e tu[a]e in aq[u]is multis: / et vestigia tua non cognoscentur. / Deduxisti sicut oves populum tuu[m]: / in manu moysi et aaron. /
Attendite popule meus
ATTENDITE / popule m[eu]s lege[m] mea[m]: / inclinate aurem / v[est]ram in verba / oris mei. / Ap[er]iam in para/bolis os meum: / loq[u]ar p[ro]positionis / ab initio. / Quanta /
