Latin text Omnes amici mei dereliquerunt me, et prevaluerunt insidiantes mihi: tradidit me, quem diligebam: insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.

English translation All my friends have forsaken me, and those who lay in wait for me have prevailed: he whom I loved has betrayed me: false witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
