Yeah the comment is a bit of a cliffhanger. Wish they had given us their preferred translation.

  That's funny, I (not the poster) didn't stop to think that other readers might not understand the Latin and Greek here! Both of those forms are third-person and say "may my soul" ( ψυχή/anima) "die with the Philistines". (Definite article in Greek but not in Latin because Latin doesn't have them.) The original Hebrew has תָּמוֹת נַפְשִׁי עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּים which is also third person "may my soul" (נַפְשִׁי) "die with (the) Philistines".

    (Another poster also pointed out that the Philistines are replaced with "foreigners" or "outgroup" in the Greek, which I overlooked.)
