Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Like a lion greedy and eager to tear his prey, and as a young lion lurking in hidden places.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

They are like a lion eager to rip its prey; they are like a strong young lion lying in wait.

And he set darkness as his hiding place, with his tabernacle all around him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

He, lion-like, lurks in his den; he waits the poor to take; And when he draws him in his net, his prey he doth him make.

Their mouths they open'd wide on me, upon me gape did they, Like to a lion ravening and roaring for his prey.

Lest that the enemy my soul should, like a lion, tear, In pieces rending it, while there is no deliverer.
