Psalm 100
He who acts proudly shall not dwell in my house

I will sing MERCY/ and judgement to you lord./ I will play the lyre and/ I shall understand in the blame/less way when/ you shall come to me./ I walked/ in the innocence/ of my heart: within/ my house./ I did not picture to myself any unjust thing:/ I hated those who agreed secretly to deceive./ A wicked heart has not adhered to me:/ and I would not know the malignant one that turned aside from me./ I persecuted the one who disparaged his neighbour in secret./ I did not eat with the one of proud eye and insatiable heart./ My eyes are towards the faithful of the earth that they may sit with me:/ a man that walks in the blameless way/ served me./

Non habitabit in medio dom[us] meae tua q[u]i facti sup[er]bia[m]
MISERICORDIA[M] / et iudiciu[m] cantabo ti[bi] d[omi]ne. / Psallam et / intelliga[m] in via im/maculata qu[a]ndo / venies ad me. / Perambulabam / in innocentia / cordis mei: in medio / domus me[a]e. / Non p[ro]poneba[m] ante oc[u]los meos rem iniustam: / facientes prevaricationes odivi. / Non adh[a]esit michi cor pravum: / declinantem a me malignu[m] non cognosceba[m]. / Detrahantem secreto proximo suo: / hunc persequebar. / Sup[er]bo oculo et insatiabili corde: / cum hoc non edebam. / Oculi mei ad fideles terr[a]e ut sedeant mecu[m]: / ambulans in via immaculata / hic mi[hi] ministrabat. /
