O God, break their teeth in their mouth.
Break off the fangs of the young lions, O Yahweh.
Let them run away like water that runs off.
When he bends the bow, let his arrows be as though they were cut off.[a]
Let them be like a snail that melts away as it goes;
like the stillborn of woman that do not see the sun.
