Text and translations

Latin text In die tribulationis meae renuit consolari anima mea; Et anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei prae lachrymis; turbatus sum, et non sum locutus. Et meditatus sum nocte cum corde meo: et exercitabar, et scopebam spiritum meum. Haec omnia initia fuerunt dolorum meorum.

English translation 3  When I was in distress…my soul refused to be comforted. 5  I could not sleep at night for weeping; I was too troubled to speak. 7  And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised, and examined my spirit. Matt.28:8  All these things were the beginning of my sorrows.
