4 I am in the midst of lions;

I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—

men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

4 My soul is in the midst of lions;

I lie down amid fiery beasts—

the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

4 I am surrounded by fierce lions

who greedily devour human prey—

whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,

and whose tongues cut like swords.

4 My soul is among lions;

I lie among the sons of men

Who are set on fire,

Whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue a sharp sword.

4 Enemies, like lions, are all around me;

I must lie down among them.

Their teeth are like spears and arrows,

their tongues as sharp as swords.

4 My soul is among lions;

I lie among them that are set on fire,

Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue a sharp sword.

4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down among them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

4 My soul is surrounded by lions. 

I must lie down with man-eating lions. 

Their teeth are spears and arrows. 

Their tongues are sharp swords. 

4 I am surrounded by lions;

I lie down with those who devour men.

Their teeth are spears and arrows;

their tongues are sharp swords.

4 I lie down among lions

that greedily devour human prey;

their teeth are spears and arrows,

their tongues sharp swords.

4 My soul is among lions.

I lie down among those who devour—

the children of humankind whose teeth are spears and arrows

and whose tongues are sharp swords.

4 Men who are like lions are all around me.

I am lying down among hungry animals.

Their teeth are like spears and arrows.

Their tongues are like sharp swords.

4 My soul is among lions;

I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,

Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows

And their tongue a sharp sword.
