Psalm 21:22 Douay-Rheims

Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.

Radak

c. 1160–1235 Jewish

Deliver me from the lion's mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild oxen Thou hast answered me. – The wild ox will gore with his horns, as it says (Deut. 33:17): “With them shall he gore peoples.” Thou hast answered me is equivalent to “Thou wilt answer me,” and of this there are many similar examples in the words of prophecy. Or its interpretation may be: Because Thou hast delivered me many times from great troubles, the deliverance from which was like being saved from the horns of the wild oxen; and as Thou didst bring me out from the other exiles, so save me now from the lion's mouth.
