TranslationWhen the people assemble together/ and kings to serve the lord/ He answered him in the way of his strength:/ tell me the small number of my days./ Do not call me back in the midst of my days:/ your years are from generation to generation./ In the beginning lord you founded the earth:/ and the heavens are the works of your hands./ They shall perish but you remain:/ and they shall grow old like a garment./ And you shall change them like a garment/ and they shall be changed: but you yourself are the same/ and your years shall not fail./ The children of your servants shall continue to live:/ and their seed shall be directed forever./ |

TranscriptionIn conveniendo pop[u]los in unu[m] / et reges ut serviant d[omi]no / Respondit ei in via virtutis su[a]e: / paucitatem dier[um] meor[um] nuntia mi[hi]. / Ne revocas me in dimidio dieru[m] meor[um]: / in generatione et generatione anni tui. / Initio tu d[omi]ne terram fundasti: / et op[er]a manuum tuaru[m] sunt c[a]eli. / Ipsi peribunt tu autem p[er]manes: / et om[n]es sicut vestim[en]tu[m] veterascent. / Et sicut opertorium mutabis eos / et mutabunt[ur]: tu aute[m] idem ipse es / et anni tui non deficient. / Filii servor[um[ tuor[um] habitab[un]t: / et semen eor[um] in s[ae]c[u]l[u]m diriget[ur]. / |
