num supertimentes eum ;
E...t iustitia illius infilios filiorum
......his quiseruant testamentum eius;

If you were to break this up into individual words, and punctuate it, it would read:

ab eterno et usque in aeter-
num super timentes eum:
Et iustitia illius in filios filiorum
his qui seruant testamentum eius.
Et memores sunt mandatorum
ipsius ad faciendum ea.
From the Douai Translation of the Vulgate:
......... [But the mercy of the Lord is]
[17]... from eternity and unto
......... eternity upon them that fear Him:
......... And His justice unto children's children
[18]....to such as keep His covenant
......... And are mindful of His commandments
......... to do them.
