Psalm 21:22
Douay-Rheims
Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
George Leo Haydock
Lowness. This sense appears to be preferable to the Hebrew, “hear me from,” &c. (Calmet) — Yet some who render the original literally have, “save me from the throat of the lion, and from the horns of the unicorns; thou hast heard me.” This seems very striking, as Christ henceforth recounts the glorious effects of his sufferings. The Septuagint have explained hanithani as a noun, though it properly signifies, thou hast heard, or humbled. (Berthier) — They may not have read the last n. (Calmet) — Yet St. Jerome has, exaudisti me, “thou hast granted my request.” (Haydock)
