Psalms 43:2

For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

KJV

Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, et in diebus antiquis.

Vulgate

Ὁ θεός, ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν ἠκούσαμεν, οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἀνήγγειλαν ἡμῖν, ἔργον ὃ εἰργάσω ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν, ἐν ἡμέραις ἀρχαίαις.

LXX

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
