Translation

The cords of sinners have wrapped me round about:/ but I have not forgotten your law./ At midnight I rose to acknowledge you:/ for the judgements of your just-dealing./ I am a partaker with all who fear you:/ and that keep your commandments./ The earth lord is full of your mercy:/ teach me your just-dealings./


Psalm 118 :71
It is good that you have humbled me
You have done KINDLY/ with your servant/ lord:/ according/ to your word./ Teach me goodness and dis/cipline and knowledge:/ because/ I have believed in your commandments./ Before I was humbled/ I offended therefore I have kept your eloquence./

Transcription

Funes peccator[um] circumplexi sunt me: / et legem tuam non sum oblitus. / Media nocte surgebam ad confitendu[m] tibi: / sup[er] iudicia iustificationis tu[a]e. / Particeps ego sum om[n]iu[m] timentiu[m] te: / et custodientium mandata tua. / Mis[eri]c[or]dia tua d[omi]ne plena est t[er]ra: / iustificationes tuas doce me.
Bonu[m] mi[hi] q[ui]a humiliasti me
BONITATE[M] / fecisti cum servo / tuo d[omi]ne: secundu[m] / verbum tuum. / Bonitate[m] et disci/plina[m] et scientia[m] / doce me: q[u]ia in / mandatis tuis / credidi. / Priu[s]qua[m] humiliarer / ego deliqui propterea eloquiu[m] tuum / custodivi /
