Translation

will put their trust under the covering of your wings./ They shall be made drunk with the plenty of your house:/ and with the torrent of your desire you will make them drink./ Because with you is the fountain of life:/ and in your light we shall see light./ Hold out your mercy to them that know you:/ and your justice to them that are right of heart./ Let not the foot of pride come to me:/ and the hand of the sinner not move me./ There have fallen those who work iniquity:/ they are cast out and are not able to stand./


Psalm 36
Delight
[on book: be delighted]

DO NOT BE JEALOUS / of ill-natured ones: nor be jealous/ of those who do iniquity. Because they shall/ quickly wither as grass:/ and as/ the blossom [literally vegetables] of plants/ they shall soon fall./

Transcription

in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt. / Inebriabunt[ur] abubertate domus tu[a]e: / et torrente voluntatis tu[a]e portabis eos. / Q[uonia]m apudte est fons vit[a]e: / et inlumine tuo videbim[us] lumen. / Pr[a]e tende mis[eri]c[or]dia[m] tua[m] scientib[us] te: / et iusticiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde. / Nonveniat michi pes superbi[a]e: / et manus peccatoris non moveat me. / Ibi ceciderunt qui op[er]ant[ur] iniquitatem: / expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare. /
[on book: Delectare]
NOLI [A]EMULARI / in malignantib[us]: / neq[ue] zelaveris / facientes iniq[u]itate[m]. Q[uonia]m ta[m]qua[m] fenu[m] / velocit[er] arescent: / et que[m]admodu[m] / holera herbar[m] / cito decident. /
