Translation

For my brothers and my neighbours’ sakes:/ I spoke peace of you./ For the house of the lord our god:/ I have sought good things for you./


Psalm 122
Behold as the eyes of the servants

I HAVE LIFTED UP/ my eyes to you:/ who dwell in heaven./ Behold as the eyes/ of servants: are on the hands/ of their masters./ As the eyes/ of the handmaid are on the hands/ of her mistress: so/ are our eyes [look] to the lord our god until/ he has mercy on us./ Have mercy on us lord have mercy on us:/ because we are greatly filled with contempt./ Because our soul is greatly filled:/ [we are] a reproach to the rich and the contempt of the proud./

Transcription

Propter fr[atre]s meos et proximos meos: / loquebar pacem de te. / Propter domum d[omi]ni dei n[ost]ri: / qu[a]esivi bona tibi. /
Ecce sicut oculi servo[rum]
AD TE LEVAVI / oculos meos: / qui habitas in c[a]elis. / Ecce sicut oculi / servor[um]: in manib[us] / d[omi]nor[um] suor[um]. / Sicut oculi / ancill[a]e in manib[us] / d[omi]n[a]e su[a]e: ita / oculi n[ost]ri ad d[omi]n[u]m d[eu]m n[ost]r[u]m donec / misereatur n[ost]ri. / Miserere n[ost]ri d[omi]ne miserere n[ost]ri: / quia multum repleti sumus despectione. / Quia multu[m] repleta est anima n[ost]ra: / opp[ro]brium abundantib[us] et despectio sup[er]bis. /
