Original text and translations
Latin text
Defecit in dolore vita mea, et anni mei in gemitibus. Infirmata in paupertate virtus mea, et dolor meus renovatus est.
(from Psalms 30:11 & 38:3)
Sed tu Domine refugium factus es mihi, et in misericordia tua consolatus sum.

English translation
My life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty, and my sorrow is renewed.
But thou, Lord, art become a refuge unto me, and in your mercy am I comforted.
