Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 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.

Errette meine Seele vom Schwert, meine einsame von den Hunden!
Sálvame de la boca del león, Y óyeme librándome de los cuernos de los unicornios.
¡Sálvame de las fauces del león! Desde los cuernos de los toros salvajes me has respondido.
Sauve-moi de la gueule du lion, Délivre-moi des cornes du buffle!
Salvami dalla gola del leone, Ed esaudiscimi, liberandomi dalle corna de’ liocorni
Salva-me da boca do leão; sim, ouviste-me, das pontas dos bois selvagens.
求你救我脫離獅子的口; 你已經應允我,使我脫離野牛的角。
