Psalms 69:4

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

KJV

Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala ; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge !

Vulgate

ἀποστραφείησαν παραυτίκα αἰσχυνόμενοι οἱ λέγοντές μοι Εὖγε εὖγε.

LXX

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.
