¹⁶ And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion
    and display your awesome power against me.

¹³ I waited patiently all night,
    but I was torn apart as though by lions.
    Suddenly, my life was over.

¹⁰ He has hidden like a bear or a lion,
    waiting to attack me.

⁹ He does great things too marvelous to understand.
    He performs countless miracles.

⁸ The lion has roared—
    so who isn’t frightened?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
    so who can refuse to proclaim his message?

⁷ So now I will attack you like a lion,
    like a leopard that lurks along the road.
⁸ Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,
    I will tear out your heart.
I will devour you like a hungry lioness
    and mangle you like a wild animal.
