NETBible

He 1  is like a lion 2  that wants to tear its prey to bits, 3  like a young lion crouching 4  in hidden places.

NET Notes

tn Here the psalmist switches to the singular pronoun; he views his enemies collectively, or singles out a representative of the group, perhaps its leader.

tn Heb “his likeness [is] like a lion.”

tn Heb “[that] longs to tear.”

tn Heb “sitting.”
