Psalms 68:16

Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

KJV

Non me demergat tempestas aquæ, neque absorbeat me profundum, neque urgeat super me puteus os suum.

Vulgate

μή με καταποντισάτω καταιγὶς ὕδατος, μηδὲ καταπιέτω με βυθός, μηδὲ συνσχέτω ἐπ’ ἐμὲ φρέαρ στόμα αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.
