The enemies' spears and arrows are spoken of as if they were lions' teeth. The psalmist continues to speak of his enemies as if they were lions. Alternate translation: "people who kill others with spears and arrows as lions kill with their sharp teeth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"people who kill others with spears and arrows as lions kill with their sharp teeth"
# spears and arrows

# whose tongues are sharp swords
