Penitential Psalms/Litany

Transcription of text on recto:

supergaudeant mihi inimici mei: et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt. Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum: et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper. Quoniam iniquitatem meam annunciabo: et cogitabo pro peccato meo. Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt, qui oderunt me inique. Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis, detrahebant mihi: quoniam sequebar bonitatem. Non derelinquas me Domine Deus meus: ne discesseris a me. Intende in adiutorium meum: Domine Deus salutis meae. Psalmus. 

Miserere mei Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem

Transcription of text on verso:

miserationum tuarum: dele iniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. Auditui meo dabis gaudium, et laetitiam: et exultabunt ossa humiliata. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

The recto of this leaf contains the fifth and sixth psalms of the Seven Penitential Psalms. The text begins with the last few lines of the fifth penitential psalm (Psalm 102), followed by the beginning of the sixth penitential psalm (Psalm 130).

A large, square red and gold initial letter (two lines high) begins the first line of Psalm 130. Small, square initial letters (one line high) begin the other lines of the psalms. These small initial letters are either blue or red and gold.

Flowers and acanthus leaves on a gold background decorate the outer margin. This decoration is contained within a rectangle, outlined in blue.

The text is written in Gothic quadrata bookhand. There are twenty lines of text per page, and the red ruling is visible. Preceding Psalm 130, there is one rubrication in red: an abbreviation for "psalmus David," or "David's psalm."

The sewing holes are visible along the edge of the gutter.
