Translation

I will sing to the lord throughout my life:/ I will play the lyre to my god as long as I exist./ Let my speech be acceptable to him:/ but I will take delight in the lord./ Let sinners cease from the earth/ and the unjust so that they do not exist:/ my soul bless the lord/


Psalm 104
[on book: Let the heart of those who seek the lord]
ACKNOWLEDGE / the lord and call upon/ his name: declare his works among the nations/ sing to him and play the lyre/ to him: relate all his marvellous works: pra/ise in his holy name./ Let the heart of those who seek our lord rejoice/ seek the lord and be strengthened:/ seek his face always./ Remember his marvellous works which he has done:/ his wonders and the judgements of his mouth./

Transcription

Cantabo d[omi]no in vita mea: / psallam deo meo qua[m]diu sum. / Iocundum sit ei eloquium meum: / ego vero delectabor in d[omi]no. / Deficiant peccatores a terra / et iniqui ita ut non sint: / benedic anima mea d[omi]no /
[on book: Laetetur cor q[uae]rentium d[o]minus]
CONFITEMINI / domino et invocate / nomen ei[us]: annuntiate / inter gentes op[er]a ei[us] / cantate ei et psallite / ei: narrate omnia / mirabilia eius: lau/damini in nomine sancto eius. / L[a]etet[ur] cor qu[a]erentium d[omi]n[u]m / qu[a]erite d[omi]ne et confirmamini: / qu[a]erite faciem eius semp[er]. / Mem[en]tote mirabiliu[m] eius qu[a]e fecit: / p[ro]digia ei[us] et iudicia oris eius. /
