Translation

and say a psalm to your name./ Highly esteeming the greetings of his king: and showing/ mercy to david his anointed:/ and to his seed for ever./

Psalm 18
As a bridegroom coming out of his marriage chamber
THE HEAVENS DESCRIBE in detail/ the glory of god: and/ the firmament / declares/ the work of his hands./ Day to day utters speech: and night/ to night discloses/ knowledge./ There are no languages no conversations:/ whose voices are not heard./ Their sound has gone forth into all the earth:/ and their words to the ends of the world./ He has set his tent in the sun: and he himself/ as a bridegroom coming out of his marriage chamber:/ He has rejoiced as a giant to run the way:/

et nomini tuo psalmum dicam. / Magnificans salutes regis eius: et faciens / misericordiam x[ist]o suo david: / et semini eius usq[ue] ins[ae]c[u]l[u]m. /
Tamq[u]a[m] sponsus p[ro]cedens de thalamo suo
CELI ENARRANT / gloriam dei: et / op[er]a manuu[m] eius / annunciat / firmamentum. / Dies diei eructat / verbum: et nox / nocti indicat / scientiam. / Nonsunt loquel[a]e neq[ue] sermones: / quor[um] non audiantur voces eor[um]. / In omnem terram exiit sonus eor[um]: / et infines orbis terr[a]e verba eor[um]. / In sole posuit tab[er]naculum suum: et ipse / ta[m]qua[m] sponsus p[ro]cedens de thalamo suo: / Exultavit ut gigas adcurrendam viam: /
