“He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.”
“He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.”
“And he made darkness his cover, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.”
“Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.”

From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
