1. in finem his qui inmutabuntur in tituli inscriptione David in doctrina

1. Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,

2. cum succendit Syriam Mesopotamiam et Syriam Soba et convertit Joab et percussit vallem Salinarum duodecim milia

3. Deus reppulisti nos et destruxisti nos iratus es et misertus es nobis

5. ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis

5. Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.

6. dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui

8. Deus locutus est in sancto suo lætabor et partibor Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum metibor

10. Moab olla spei meæ in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt

10. Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.

11. quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam

11. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

12. nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris

12. Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?

14. in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
