Psalms 56:2
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
KJV
Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
Vulgate
Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ θεός, ἐλέησόν με· ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθεν ἡ ψυχή μου, καὶ ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιῶ ἕως οὗ παρέλθῃ ἡ ἀνομία.
LXX
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.
