Translation

my lips trembled at the voice./ Let rottenness enter my bones: and bubble up beneath me./ That I may find rest in the day of tribulation: and may go up to our people who are girded./ For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there will be no shoots on the vines./ The work of the olive shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food./ The flock shall be cut off from the sheep-fold: and there shall be no herd in the stalls./ But I will rejoice in the lord: and exalt in god my ihesus./ The lord god [is] my strength: and he makes my feet like the feet of hinds./ and the conqueror will lead me upon my high places: singing psalms./

Transcription

a[d] uoce contremuerunt labia mea./ Ingrediatur putredo in ossib[us] meis: et subter me scateat./ Vt requiescam in die tribulationis: et ascenda[m] ad populum accinctu[m] n[ost]r[um]./ Ficus enim non florebit: et non erit germen in uineis./ Mentietur opus oliu[a]e: et arua non afferent cibu[m]./ Abscidetur de ouili pecus: et n[on] erit armentu[m] in pr[a]esepibus./ Ego aute[m] in d[omi]no gaudebo: et exultabo in deo ih[es]u meo./ D[eu]s d[omi]n[u]s fortitudo mea: et ponet pedes meos quasi ceruo[rum]./ Et sup[er] excelsa mea deducet me uictor: in psalmis canentem./
