Psalms 141:7

Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

KJV

Intende ad deprecationem meam, quia humiliatus sum nimis. Libera me a persequentibus me, quia confortati sunt super me.

Vulgate

πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου, ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα· ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.

LXX

As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
