Psalms 57:4

⁶Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.

¹⁴There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

¹⁷Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

³who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

¹⁸There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

²Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

¹⁰Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

²²My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

²³Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

²⁴The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions—them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.

¹²He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. ¹³Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
