they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
They have gaped at me with their mouths; they have struck me insolently on the cheek; they mass themselves together against me.
They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
Save me from the mouth of the lion! From the horns of the wild oxen you have rescued me.
All who see me mock me; they sneer at me; they shake their heads;
How long, O Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my life from the lions!
They open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Aha, Aha, our eyes have seen it.”
or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.
All your enemies open their mouths against you; they hiss, they gnash their teeth, they cry: “We have devoured her! Ah, this is the day we longed for; at last we have seen it!”
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us;
Discipline yourselves; keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.
