Recto incipit: [ex]altavit me dextera Domini
Recto explicit: et factus es mihi in
Verso incipit: salutem. [L]apidem quem
Verso explicit: venit in nomine Domini Transcript of the whole leaf
There are two areas where the scribe combined two separate Verses with no delineation between them. Verses 19 & 20 [confitebor domino hæc porta] are combined, where the original Verse 19 ends after domino and Verse 20 begins Hæc. Verses 25 & 26 [bene prosperare benedictus] are also combined, where Verse 25 ends with Prosperare and Verse 26 begins Benedictus.

|Translation|
Recto: exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.
I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.
When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.
Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.
I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my
Verso: salvation.
The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.
By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.
O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.
Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord.
