Psalm 138: 7 [Latin] – If I walk in the midst of tribulation, You will sustain me, Lord; and against the wrath of my enemies, You lift Your hand, and I am saved by Your right hand.

Original, in Latin:

Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me, Domine: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendes manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
