Original text and translations

Latin text Tribulatio proxima est et non est qui adjuvet. Sed tu, Domine, defensor vitae meae, vindica me. Contumelias et terrores passus sum ab eis. Adjutor et protector meus es tu : Domine, ne moreris.

English translation Tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. But thou, O Lord, defender of my life, do thou deliver me. Reproaches and terrors have I suffered from them. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
