Text and translations

Latin text Responsorium: Omnes amici mei dereliquerunt me, et praevaluerunt insidiantes mihi: tradidit me, quem diligebam. Et terribilibus oculis plaga crudeli percutiens aceto potabant me. Versus: Inter iniquos projecerunt me et non pepercerunt animae meae. Et terribilibus oculis plaga crudeli percutiens aceto potabant me.

English translation Responsory: All my friends have deserted me, And plotters have prevailed over me. He whom I loved has betrayed me. And with fierce looks and cruel blows they gave me vinegar to drink. Verse: They cast me among the wicked and did not spare my soul. And with fierce looks and cruel blows they gave me vinegar to drink.
