So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.

You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.

Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.

I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.
