O God,shattertheir teethin their mouth;Breakout the fangsof the younglions,O LORD.
Arise,O LORD;saveme, O my God!For You have smittenallmy enemieson the cheek;You have shatteredthe teethof the wicked.
The remnantof JacobWill be among the nations,AmongmanypeoplesLike a lionamong the beastsof the forest,Like a younglionamong flocksof sheep,Which,ifhe passesthrough,Tramplesdownand tears,And thereis noneto rescue.
For I [will be] like a lionto EphraimAnd like a younglionto the houseof Judah.I, even I, will tearto pieces and goaway, I will carryaway, and therewill be noneto deliver.
He is likea lionthat is eagerto tear,And as a younglionlurkingin hidingplaces.
Breakthe armof the wickedand the evildoer,Seekout his wickednessuntil You findnone.
"I brokethe jawsof the wickedAnd snatchedthe preyfrom his teeth.
For thussaysthe LORDto me, "As the lionor the youngliongrowlsoverhis prey,Againstwhicha bandof shepherdsis calledout, [And] he will not be terrifiedat their voicenordisturbedat their noise,Sowill the LORDof hostscomedownto wagewaron MountZionand on its hill."
You will treadupon the lionand cobra,The younglionand the serpentyou will trampledown.
"Behold,a peopleriseslike a lioness,And as a lionit liftsitself; It will not liedownuntilit devoursthe prey,And drinksthe bloodof the slain."
"Whocan openthe doorsof his face?Aroundhis teeththere is terror.
Ifthe serpentbitesbefore being charmed,thereis noprofitfor the charmer.
"For behold,I am sendingserpentsagainst you, Adders,for whichthereis nocharm,And they will biteyou," declaresthe LORD.
