Translation

For behold your enemies lord for behold your enemies/ shall perish: and all who work injustice shall be scattered./ And my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn:/ and my old age in plentiful mercy./ And my eye has looked down upon my enemies:/ my ear shall hear of the ill-natured that rise up against me./ The just shall flourish like the palm tree: shall be multiplied li/ke the cedar of Libanus./ They who are planted in the house of the lord:/ shall flourish in the courts of the house of our god./ They shall increase still in a fruitful old age:/ and they shall very patient so that they may declare./ That the lord our god is righteous: and there is no injustice in him./


Psalm 92
The lord has reigned

THE LORD/ has reigned he is clothed in beauty:/ the lord is clothed/ in strength and has clothed himself./

Q[uonia]m ecce inimici tui d[omi]ne q[uonia]m ecce inimici / p[er]ib[un]t: et disp[er]gentur om[ne]s q[u]i op[er]ant[ur] iniq[u]itate[m]. / Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meu[m]: / et senectus mea in mis[eri]c[or]dia uberi. / Et despexit oculus m[eu]s inimicos meos: / et insurgentib[us] in me malignantib[us] / audiet audiet auris mea. / Iustus ut palma florebit: si/cut cedrus libani multiplicabitur. / Plantati in domo d[omi]ni: / in atriis domus dei n[ost]ri florebunt. / Adhuc multiplicabunt[ur] in senecta uberi: /et bene patientes erunt ut annuntient. / Q[uonia]m rect[us] d[omi]n[u]s d[eu]s n[oste]r: et non est iniq[u]itas in eo.
D[omi]n[u]s regnavit
DOMINUS / regnavit decore[m] / indutus est: / indut[us] est d[omi]n[u]s / fortitudine[m] et p[rae]cinx[it] se. /
