Psalms 36:7

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

KJV

Subditus esto Domino, et ora eum. Noli æmulari in eo qui prosperatur in via sua ; in homine faciente injustitias.

Vulgate

ὑποτάγηθι τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἱκέτευσον αὐτόν· μὴ παραζήλου ἐν τῷ κατευοδουμένῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ ποιοῦντι παρανομίας.

LXX

How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
