Psalms 27:3

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

KJV

Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus, et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me ; qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.

Vulgate

μὴ συνελκύσῃς μετὰ ἁμαρτωλῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ μετὰ ἐργαζομένων ἀδικίαν μὴ συναπολέσῃς με, τῶν λαλούντων εἰρήνην μετὰ τῶν πλησίον αὐτῶν, κακὰ δὲ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν.

LXX

Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.

ASV

אִם תַּחֲנֶ֬ה עָלַ֨/י מַחֲנֶה֮ לֹֽא יִירָ֪א לִ֫בִּ֥/י אִם תָּק֣וּם עָ֭לַ/י מִלְחָמָ֑ה בְּ֝/זֹ֗את אֲנִ֣י בוֹטֵֽחַ
