Translation

then shall my enemies be turned backward./ In what day soever I shall call to you:/ behold I have known that you are my god./ In god will I praise the word in our lord will I praise speech:/ in god have I hoped I will not fear what man can do to me./ In me god are your vows:/ which I will pay praises to you./ Because you have delivered my soul from death:/ and my feet from falling/ that I may please before the sight of god in the light of the living./


Psalm 56
My soul trusts in you

Have mercy/ on me god have mercy on me:/ because my soul/ has trusted in you./ And I will hope in the shadow/ of your wings: until/ injustice pass by./ I will cry to god/ the highest: god has done me good./

Transcription

tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. / Inquacu[m]q[ue] die in vocavero te: / ecce cognovi q[uonia]m deus m[eu]s es. / In d[e]o laudabo verbu[m] in d[omi]no laudabo sermone[m]: / in d[e]o sp[er]avi non timebo q[u]id faciat mi[hi] homo. / In me sunt deus vota tua: / qu[a]e reddam laudationes tibi. / Quoniam eripuisti anima[m] meam de morte: / et pedes meos de lapsu / et placeam corum deo inlumine inventiu[m]. /
In te confidit anima mea
MISERERE / mei d[eu]s miserere mei: / q[uonia]m in te confidit / anima mea. / Et in umbra / alarum tuarum / sperabo: donec / transeat iniq[u]itas. / Clamabo ad d[eu]m / altissimum: d[eu]m qui benefecit michi. /
