they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
They open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Aha, Aha! Our eyes have seen it!”
“All our enemies open their mouths against us;
All your enemies rail against you; they hiss, they gnash their teeth, they cry: “We have swallowed her! Ah, this is the day we longed for; now we have it; we see it!”
He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
Men have gaped at me with their mouth; they have struck me insolently on the cheek; they mass themselves together against me.
How long, O Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from the lions!
Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
