Psalm 118:1
[on book: Blessed are the blameless in the way]

BLESSED ARE THE BLAMELESS / in the way: who walk/ in the law of the lord./ Blessed are those who search/ his testimonies:/ that seek after him with all their heart./ For those who carry out/ wickedness:/ have not walked in his ways./ You have commanded:/ your commandments to be kept diligently./ Would that my ways might be directed:/ to keep your just-dealings./ Then I shall not be thrown into confusion: when I shall look / into all your commandments./ I will acknowledge you with straightforwardness of heart: in that/ I have learned the judgements of your justice./ I will keep your just-dealings:/ do not forsake me on every occasion./

[on book: beati inmaculati in via]
BEATI IMMAC[U]LATI / in via: qui ambulant / in lege domini. / Beati q[u]i scrutantur / testimonia eius: / in toto corde exq[u]ir[en]t eu[m]. / Non eni[m] qui op[er]ant[ur] / iniquitatem: / in vias ei[us] ambulaver[un]t. / Tu mandasti: / mandata tua custodiri nimis. / Utinam dirigantur vi[a]e me[a]e: / ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas. / Tunc non confundar: cum p[er]spexero / in om[n]ib[us] mandatis tuis. / Confitebor tibi in directione cordis: in eo / quod didici iudica iustici[a]e tu[a]e. / Iustificationes tuas custodiam: / non me derelinquas usq[ue]quaque. /
