They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Is he who [thoughtlessly] sings [joyful] songs to a heavy heart.
Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the lazy one to those who send him to work.
