Insurrexerunt in Me Testes Iniqui

Insurrexerunt in Me Testes Iniqui is the antiphon preceding Psalm 26 on Good Friday. Here King David foretells the persecution of Our Lord at the hands of the unjust.

Insurrexerunt in Me Testes Iniqui is the third antiphon for Good Friday's first nocturn.
It is here sung by the Schola Antiqua.

Insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui,
Et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
English translation

Unjust witnesses rose up against me,
And iniquity lied to itself.
