Lyrics:
Latin text:
OOmnes amici mei dereliquérunt me,
Et praevaluérunt insidiántes mihi:
Trádidit me quem diligébam:
Et terribílibus óculis,
Plaga crudéli percutiéntes,
Acéto potóbant me.
V. Inter iníquos projecérunt me,
Et non pepercérunt ánimae meae.
English translation (1):
All My friends have forsaken me,
And they who lie in wait for Me have prevailed;
He whom I loved hath betrayed Me:
And with terrible eyes,
They struck me with cruel blows,
Vinegar they gave me to drink.
V. They have cast me among the wicked,
And have not spared my soul.
