6. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth. If they
have no capacity for good, at least deprive them of their ability for evil.
Treat them as the snake-charmers do their serpents: extract their fangs, break
their teeth. The Lord will not suffer the malice of the wicked to triumph. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
For fierce cruelty the wicked are likened to young lions, and it is asked that
their grinders may be smashed in, that the creatures may henceforth be
harmless.
