Aight, now I need answers.

I had seen this image before, but couldn't remember where or when. I still don't, but a reverse image lookup says it's a page from a french prayer book

as this image shows

But I can't read the damn writing because whatever font is used there is gibberish to my dyslexia.

Can anyone passing by take a crack at deciphering what it says? I suspect it's Latin rather than French considering the era the original is from, but it could be either.

It appears to share many words with the Latin version of Psalm 114:

Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.

Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

Thank you very much!

Now that I have a legible font to compare to, it makes it much easier to parse the original

If they ask you to pull the maggot out of their skulls. DONT. Thats how they get you. Death would be sweeter
