tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.

VULC ¹² In me sunt, Deus, vota tua,
quæ reddam, laudationes tibi :

BCC ¹³ Car ce n'est pas un ennemi qui m'outrage : je le supporterais ; ce n'est pas un adversaire qui s'élève contre moi : je me cacherais devant lui.

KJV ¹³ But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

VULC ¹³ quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte,
