The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint align closely, with 10 of the 11 words matched. The Dead Sea Scrolls show some restoration, indicating that while the text is largely preserved, there are gaps filled by editors, particularly in the Mur88 scroll.
מַה־ תְּחַשְּׁבוּן֙ אֶל־ יְהוָ֔ה כָּלָ֖ה ה֣וּא עֹשֶׂ֑ה לֹֽא־ תָק֥וּם פַּעֲמַ֖יִם צָרָֽה׃

מה תחשבו׳ן אל יהוה כלה הוא עשה לא תקום פעמים [צרה]
7 words on the leather — 3 partly restored, 1 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.
