KJV
Dixit autem David ad Gad : Coarctor nimis : sed melius est ut incidam in manus Domini (multæ enim misericordiæ ejus sunt) quam in manus hominum.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Γάδ Στενά μοι πάντοθεν σφόδρα ἐστίν· ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτειρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, εἰς δὲ χεῖρας ἀνθρώπου οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω.
LXX
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.
