Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 58 of Psalms. Psalm 58 denounces rulers or judges who should administer justice but use their authority to produce violence. The opening question directly accuses human judicial corruption. Intense images of serpents and teeth being broken express the desire for evil to be neutralized. The conclusion affirms that there is a God who judges on earth, preserving the conviction that human injustice does not have the final word.

daß sie nicht höre die Stimme des Zauberers, des Beschwörers, der wohl beschwören kann.
Oh Dios, quiebra sus dientes en sus bocas: Quiebra, oh Jehová, las muelas de los leoncillos.
Oh Dios, rómpeles los dientes en la boca; Jehová, quiebra los colmillos de esos leones jóvenes.
O Dieu, brise-leur les dents dans la bouche! Eternel, arrache les mâchoires des lionceaux!
O Dio, stritola loro i denti nella lor bocca; O Signore, rompi i mascellari de’ leoncelli.
Ó Deus, quebra-lhes os dentes nas suas bocas; arranca, SENHOR, os queixais aos filhos dos leões.
上帝啊,求你敲碎他們口中的牙! 耶和華啊,求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙!
