They may roar and growl like powerful lions. But when God breaks their teeth,
When criminals attacked, I broke their teeth and set their victims free.
God rescues the needy from the words of the wicked and the fist of the mighty.
Come and save me, LORD God! Break my enemies' jaws and shatter their teeth,
I live among lions, who gobble up people! They have spears and arrows instead of teeth, and they have sharp swords instead of tongues.
My enemies are fierce as lions, LORD God! Shatter their teeth. Snatch out their fangs.
Make them disappear like leaking water, and make their arrows miss.
others are so greedy that they gobble up the poor and homeless.
