Original text and translations

Image:Latin.png Latin text

In die tribulationis meae
renuit consolari anima mea.
Et anticipaverunt vigilias
oculi mei prae lachrymis.
Turbatus sum et non sum locutus
cum corde meo.
Haec omnia initia
fuerunt dolorum meorum.

When I was in distress, my soul refused to be comforted.
I could not sleep at night for weeping.
I was too troubled to speak.
All these things were the beginning of my sorrows.
(Text pieced together freely from Psalm 76:3,5 (Vulgate)/ Psalm 77:2,4 and Matthew 24:8, with two words from Lamentations 2:11)
