Un tempo con la parola creasti l’intero mondo,
e ora lo salvi poiché sei benevolo per natura;
con la tua salvifica provvidenza, o Signore,
assisti lo scriba e il committente:
in te riposa infatti la salvezza dei mortali.

Tu autem qui mundum in verbo olim creasti,
Et nunc eumdem, quae tua est misericordia, conservas,
Tua conservatrice, Domine, providentia,
Auxiliare scribenti, & possidenti;
In te enim est mortalium salus.

| Comment |
The epigram usually accompanies the psalms, along with other Psalter epigrams. However, its content is not related to the psalms, as testified by its presence as a prayer at the end of a manuscript (occurrence 22621) and as a book epigram along with Klimax' Ladder (occurrence 22038). |
