Psalm 17:12 Douay-Rheims

They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.

Radak

c. 1160–1235 Jewish

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, As it were a young lion lurking in secret places: – He is like, singular, of Saul. He says, as he said of him in the Psalm Concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite (7:3): “Lest he tear my soul like a lion.”
