Psalms 41:5
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
KJV
Hæc recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.
Vulgate

LXX
Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?
ASV
אֲֽנִי אָ֭מַרְתִּי יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑/נִי רְפָאָ֥/ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗/י כִּי חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽ/ךְ
