Latin text

Improperium exspectavit cor meum, et miseriam: et sustinui, qui simul mecum contristaretur, et non fuit:
consolantem me quaesivi, et non inveni; et dederunt in escam meam fel,
et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto, potaverunt me aceto.

English translation

Insult has broken My heart, and I am weak:
I looked for sympathy and there was none; for comforters, and I found none;
rather they put gall in My food and in My thirst, they gave Me vinegar to drink.
