Translation

the way of your just-dealings lord:/ and I will always seek after it./ Give me understanding and I will search the law:/ and I will keep it with my whole heart./ Lead me into the path of your commandments: because I have desired this./ Bend my heart into your testimonies:/ and not to covetousness./ Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanities:/ invigorate me in your way./ Establish your eloquence to your servant: in your fear./ Cut off my reproach which I have mistrusted:/ because your judgements are pleasant./ Behold I have coveted your commandments:/ in your fairness invigorate me./


Psalm 118: 41
(Let your mercy) come upon me

AND LET/ your mercy COME UPON ME/ lord:/ your salvation/ according to your eloquence./ And I shall answer/ a word to those who upbraid me:/

michi d[omi]ne viam iustificationu[m] tuaru[m]: / et exquiram eam semp[er]. / Da mi[hi] intellectu[m] et scrutabor legem tuam: / et custodiam illam in toto corde meo. / Deduc me in semita mandator[um] tuar[um]: q[u]ia ipsa[m] volui. / Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua: / et non in avaritiam. / Averte oculos meos ne videant vanitate[m]: / in via tua vivifica me. /
Adveniat sup[er] me
Statue servo tuo eloq[u]iu[m] tuu[m]: in timore tuo. / Amputa opp[ro]briu[m] meu[m] quod suspicat[us] su[m]: / quia iudicia tua iocunda. / Ecce concupivi mandata tua: / ineq[u]itate tua vivifica me. /
ATVENIAT / sup[er] me misericordia / tua domine: / salutare tuum / s[e]c[un]d[u]m eloq[u]iu[m] tuu[m]. / Et respondebo / ex p[ro]brantib[us] mi[hi] v[er]bu[m]: /
