Translation

Psalm 118:121
I HAVE DONE JUDGEMENT/ and justice do not hand me over/ to those who slander me./ Receive your servant/ into good [things] do not let the proud/ slander me./


Receive your servant
My eyes have fainted/ after your salvation: and for the word of your justice./ Do with your servant according/ to your mercy: and teach me your just-dealings./ I am your servant/ give me understanding:/ that I may know your testimonies./ It is time to act lord: they have destroyed your law./ Therefore I have loved your commandments:/ above gold and topazion./ Therefore I was directed to all your commandments:/ I have hated all wicked ways./

FECI IUDICIU[M] / et iustitiam n[on] t[ra]das me / calumniantibus me. / Suscipe servuu[m] tuu[m] / in bonu[m] n[on] calu[m]nient[ur] / me sup[er]bi. /
Suscipe serv[um] tu[um]
Oculi mei defecer[un]t / in salutare tuu[m]: et in eloq[u]iu[m] iustiti[a]e tu[a]e. / Fac cum servo tuo secundum / misericordiam tuam: et iustifi/tiones tuas doce me. / Servus tuus sum ego / da michi intellectum: / ut sciam testimonia tua. / Tempus faciendi d[omi]ne: / dissipaver[un]t lege[m] tua[m]. / Ideo dilexi mandata tua: / sup[er] aurum et topazion. / Propt[er]ea ad om[n]ia mandata tua dirigebar: / omne[m] via[m] iniqua[m] odio habui. /
