TRANSLATION
"There is no speech nor language where their
voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun
which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber
and rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven and its circuit to the other end
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple
The statues of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes
The fear of the Lord is clean enduring forever
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold
Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them your servant is warned
and in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
The margins are filled with a series of illustrations,
each one of them portraying six apostles (Peter, Paul, John, Matthew,

nations to which the apostles spread the Gospel. Red inscriptions

Saint Paul, Saint John, Saint Matthew, Saint Mark, and Saint Luke."
Similarly to the previous page, the margins are filled with illustrations
of apostles Simon, Andrew, James, Bartholomew, Thomas, and Philip, preaching

Simon, Saint Andrew, Saint James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Thomas,
