Translation

The sharp arrows of the mighty:/ with hot coals that lay waste./ Woe to me that my residence is prolonged:/ I have dwelt with the inhabitants of caedar my soul has been a resident too long./ With those who hated peace I was peaceable:/ when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause./


Psalm 120
My help comes from the lord.
[on book: I have lifted my eyes]

I HAVE LIFTED UP / my eyes to the mountains/ from where my help shall come./ My help is from the lord:/ who made heaven and earth/. May he not let your foot be moved:/ neither let him slumber who guards you./ The lord is your guardian the lord is your protection:/ on your right hand./ The sun shall not burn you by day:/ nor the moon by night./

Transcription

Sagitt[a]e potentis acut[a]e: / cum carbonib[us] desolatoriis. / eu mi[hi] quia incolatus m[eu]s p[ro]longat[us] est: / habitavi cum habitantib[us] c[a]edar: / multum incola fuit anima mea. / um his qui oderunt pacem eram pacific[us]: / cum loquebar illis impugnabant me gratis. /
Auxiliu[m] meu[m] a d[omi]no
[on book: Levavi oculos meos]

LEVAVI / oculos meos in montes / unde veniet auxilium michi. / Auxilium meum a d[omi]no: / qui f[a]ecit c[a]elum et terram. / Non det in commotionem pedem tuu[m]: / neq[ue] dormitet qui custodit te. / Ecce non dormitabit neq[ue] dormiet: / qui custodit isr[ahe]l. / D[omi]n[u]s custodit te d[omi]n[u]s p[ro]tectio tua: / sup[er] manum dexter[a]e tu[a]e. / Per diem sol non uret te: / neq[ue] luna p[er] noctem. /
