Translation

And I let them go according to the desires of their heart:/ they shall go in their own inventions./ If my people had heard me:/ if israhel had walked in my ways./ For nothing perhaps I had humbled their enemies:/ and had laid my hand upon those that troubled them./ The enemies of the lord have lied to him:/ and their danger shall be forever./ And he fed to them with the fat crops and filled them with honey out of the rock./


Psalm 81
God stood in the assembly of gods

GOD STOOD/ in the assembly of gods/ and in the midst/ he judged gods. How long do you judge/ unjustly: and accept the persons of sinners./ Judge for the destitute/ and the orphan:/ do justice to the humble and the poor./

Transcription

Et dimisi eos s[e]c[un]d[u]m desideria cordis eor[um]: / ibunt in adinventionib[us] suis. / Si populus meus audisset me: / isr[ahe]l si in viis meis ambulasset. / Pro nichilo forsitan nimicos eor[um] humiliasse[m]: / et sup[er] tribulantes eos misisse[m] manu[m] mea[m]. / Inimici d[omi]ni mentiti sunt ei: / et erit tempus eor[um] in s[ae]c[u]la. / Et cibavit illos ex adipe frumenti: / et de petra melle saturavit eos. /
D[eu]s stetit in sinagoga deo[rum]
D[EU]S STETIT / in sinagoga deor[um] / in medio aute[m] / deos diiudicat. / Usq[ue]q[u]o iudicatis / iniq[u]itate[m]: et facies / peccator[um] sumitis. / Iudicate egeno / et pupillo: / humilem et pauperem iustificate. /
