Translation

me: he has converted my soul./ He has lead me on the paths of justice:/ on account of his own name./ For although I shall walk in the midst of the shadow/ of death: I will fear no evils because you are with me./ Your rod and your staff: they have comforted me./ You have prepared a table in my sight:/ against them that trouble me./ You have anointed my head with oil: and how splendid is my intoxicating chalice./ And your mercy will follow me:/ all the days of my life./ And that I may live in the house of the lord:/ in length of days./


Psalm 23
Lift up your gates, princes

THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S / and the world and all that fills it:/ the world/ and all who/ live in it./ Because/

me: animam meam convertit. / Deduxit me super semitas iustici[a]e: / propter nomen suum. / Nam et si ambulavero in medio umbr[a]e / mortis: non timebo mala q[uonia]m tu mecu[m] es. / Virga tua et baculus tuus: ipsa me c[on]solata s[un]t. / Parasti in conspectu meo mensam: / adversus eos qui tribulant me. / Impinguasti inoleo caput meum: / et calix m[eu]s inebrians quam p[rae]clarus est. / Et misericordia tua subsequetur me: / omnibus diebus vit[a]e me[a]e. / Et ut inhabitem indomo domini: / in longitudinem dierum. /
Attolite portas p[ri]ncipes vestras
D[OMI]NI EST T[ER]RA / et plenitudo eius: / orbis terrarum / et universi qui / habitant in eo. / Quia ipse super /
