Ja jos joku nousee vainoamaan sinua ja väijymään sinun henkeäsi, niin herrani henki on tallella elävien kukkarossa Herran, sinun Jumalasi, tykönä; mutta sinun vihollistesi hengen hän lingolla linkoaa pois. (1938 Bible Finnish translation)
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. (KJV)
