They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
They also opened their mouth wide against me, And said, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it.”
All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.
All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up! Surely this is the day we have waited for; We have found it, we have seen it!”
As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
They gape at me with their mouth, They strike me reproachfully on the cheek, They gather together against me.
Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, My precious life from the lions.
Save Me from the lion’s mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.
All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
