A prayer of St Jerome to God, offering
the psalter in his honour and that of the Virgin Mary and of the saints, on behalf of himself, his kindred and
his benefactors, for his dependents and for all the faithful, living and dead. He asks Jesus Christ that the psalter
may avail to gain for him salvation, the grace of true repentance and the remission of all his sins.Suscipere dignare domine deus om\nipotens istos psalmos consecra\tos quos ego indignus decanta[re]\ cupio in honore nominis tui domine et beate\ Marie virginis et omnium sanctorum tuorum nec\non et pro me famulo tuo, N, et pro genito\re meo et genitrice mea seu pro cunctis con\sanguineis meis benefactoribus meis et elemo\sinariis meis necnon et pro illis qui in me\ fiduciam habent sive pro cunctis fidelibus vi\vis et defunctis. Concede queso domine Ihesu\ Christe ut isti psalmi nobis omnibus proficiant ad salutem et ad veram penitenciam facien\dam omniumque remissionem peccatorum impe\trandam. Prestante domino nostro Ihesu\ Christo. Qui cum deo patre et spiritu sancto vivis\ et regnas deus per omnia secula seculorum.\ Amen.\
The psalter follows.
Sequitur psalterium beati Ieronimi.\
