Though the roar of the lion and the growl of the ferocious lion ⌞is loud⌟, the young lions have had their teeth knocked out.
I broke the teeth of the wicked person and made him drop the prey out of his mouth.
“But he saves ⌞other people⌟ from their slander and the needy from the power of the mighty.
Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! You have slapped all my enemies in the face. You have smashed the teeth of wicked people.
My soul is surrounded by lions. I must lie down with man-eating lions. Their teeth are spears and arrows. Their tongues are sharp swords.
O God, knock the teeth out of their mouths. Break the young lions’ teeth, O Lord.
Let them disappear like water that drains away. When they aim their bows, let their arrows miss the target.
A certain kind of person, whose teeth are like swords and whose jaws are ⌞like⌟ knives, devours oppressed people from the earth and people from among humanity.
