² Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

¹³ I quieted `myself' until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

²² Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

⁸ Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

⁷ Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;

⁸ I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

¹² The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

¹⁵ But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew `it' not; They did tear me, and ceased not:

¹³ They gape upon me with their mouth, `As' a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹² He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

⁹ He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

⁷ Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

⁶ And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.

²⁸ And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt therein.

²⁰ And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: He dwelleth as a lioness, And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
