They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 22 of Psalms. Psalm 22 begins with an extreme experience of abandonment and ends with a universal proclamation of God’s faithfulness. The contrast between the apparent absence of an answer and the memory of how God helped the ancestors sustains the plea. Images of animals, violence, and vulnerability describe total threat. The second half transforms lament into praise and extends the announcement of salvation from the individual to generations and peoples.

Große Farren haben mich umgeben, gewaltige Stiere haben mich umringt.
Abrieron sobre mí su boca, Como león rapante y rugiente.
Abren contra mí sus fauces, como un león que desgarra y ruge.
Ils ouvrent contre moi leur gueule, Semblables au lion qui déchire et rugit.
Hanno aperta la lor gola contro a me, Come un leone rapace e ruggente.
Abriram contra mim suas bocas, como um leão que despedaça e que ruge.
牠們向我張口, 好像獵食吼叫的獅子。
