There are several different translations. Here's some from a Biblical site...

ut you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. WEB

But my horn hast thou exalted like 'the horn of' the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. ASV

But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head. BBE

But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. DBY

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. KJV

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. WBS

But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil. JPS

And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil. YLT

The Bible also contains other references to unicorns, however these may either me metaphors or mistranslations. (This doesn't mean I'm not a supporter of their existence in another realm, however.)

Hope this helps!

I like to say they existed, just because I like the Unicorn Song.

Here are the lyrics for you.

A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
Hey Lord,

I've got green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just can't find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorns
