Psalms 10:2

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

In Domino confido ; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ : Transmigra in montem sicut passer ?

Vulgate

ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη ⸂⸆⸃ εἰς φαρέτραν, τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

LXX

In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
