After searching I have found numerous versions of the prayer claiming to be the original. Most are close to one another. Could it be that Pope Leo the 13th wrote it in Latin and the different versions are due to translations ?
"From the moment we awake in the morning, let us pray continually in the words of holy David: Turn away my eyes, that they may not behold vanity"
St Alphonsus

"I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you"
Leviticus 26:17

"Behold, O God our protector : and look upon the face of Thy Christ" (Ps. 79:20) Here is devotion to the face of Jesus Christ as prophesized by David."
Fr. Lawrence Daniel Carney III

Lucryster

 Possibly That or he wrote it in his native language, and the variations stem from there.
