They have opened their mouths against Me, As a raging and roaring lion.
They open wide their mouths at me, in scorn they have smitten my cheeks, they mass themselves together against me.
Like a lion who is eager to tear his prey, And as a young lion crouching in cover.
Save Me from the mouth of the lion, And from the horns of the wild beasts! You have answered Me.
All those who see Me mock Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
יהוה, how long would You look on? Rescue my being from their destructions, My only life from the lions.
And they open their mouth wide against me, They said, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it.”
Lest they tear at my throat like a lion, Rending in pieces, with no one to deliver.
All your enemies have opened Their mouth against you; They have whistled and they gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up! This is certainly the day we waited for; We have found it, we have seen it.”
All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
