Psalm 42
Send forth your light
[on book: send forth your light]

JUDGE ME GOD /and distinguish between my cause from the nation/ not holy: from the unjust/ and deceitful man deliver me./ Because you are my god my strength:/ why have you cast me off and why/ go I sorrowful: while the enemy/ afflicts me./ Send forth your light and your/ truth: they have brought me/ and have brought me into the holy hill/ and into your tents./ And I will go in to the altar of god: to god/ who makes my youth joyful./ I will confess to you on the cythera [harp] god my god:/ why are you sorrowful my soul:/ and why do you trouble me./ Hope in god because yet I will confess to him:/ the salvation of my countenance and my god./

[on book: Emitte luce[m] tuam]
IUDICA ME D[EU]S / et discerne causam mea[m] de gente / non sancta: abhomine iniq[u]o / et doloso erue me. / Quia tues d[eu]s fortitudo mea: / quare me reppulisti et quare / tristis incedo: dum affligit / me inimicus. / Emitte lucem tuam et veritate[m] / tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt / et ad duxerunt in monte s[an]c[tu]m / tuum et in tabernacula tua. / Et introibo ad altare dei: ad d[eu]m / qui l[a]etificat iuventute[m] mea[m]. / Confitebor tibi in cythara deus deus meus: / quare tristis es anima mea: / et quare conturbas me. / Spera in deo q[uonia]m adhuc confitebor illi: / salutare vultus mei et deus meas. /
