Translation

because all your commandments are fair./ Let your hand be with me to save me:/ for I have chosen your commandments./ I have longed for your salvation lord:/ and your law is my contemplation./ My soul shall live and shall praise you:/ and your judgements shall help me./ I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost:/ seek your servant lord:/ because I have not forgotten your commandments./


Psalm 119
The sharp arrows of the mighty

In my trouble/ I cried TO THE LORD: and/ he heard me./ Lord deliver/ my soul from wicked lips:/ and a deceitful tongue./ What shall be given to you or what shall be added to you:/ to a deceitful tongue./

Transcription

quia om[n]ia mandata tua [a]equitas. / Fiat manus tua ut salvet me: / q[uonia]m mandata tua elegi. / Concupivi salutare tuum d[omi]ne: / et lex tua meditatio mea est. / Vivet anima mea et laudabit te: / et iudicia tua adiuvabunt me. / Erravi sicut ovis qu[a]e p[er]iit: / qu[a]ere servum tuum d[omi]ne: / quia mandata tua n[on] su[m] oblitus. /
Sagitt[a]e potentis acut[a]e
AD DOMINUM / cum tribularer / clamavi: et / exaudivit me. / D[omi]ne libera / animam meam / a labiis iniquis: / et a lingua dolosa. / Quid detur tibi aut quid apponat[ur] tibi: / ad linguam dolosam. /
