Psalms 31:9

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

KJV

Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.

Vulgate

μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς ἵππος καὶ ἡμίονος, οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν σύνεσις· ἐν χαλινῷ καὶ κημῷ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτῶν ἄγξαι τῶν μὴ ἐγγιζόντων πρὸς σέ.

LXX

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

ASV

וְ/לֹ֣א הִ֭סְגַּרְתַּ/נִי בְּ/יַד אוֹיֵ֑ב הֶֽעֱמַ֖דְתָּ בַ/מֶּרְחָ֣ב רַגְלָֽ/י
