{He is like} a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

They open wide their mouths against me,
Like a ravening and a roaring lion.

Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion [they are at] my hands and my feet.
