Psalm 7:2
“Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 7Meaning
The violent metaphor explains the urgency of the plea; it does not authorize the worshiper to answer violence with violence.

The speaker asks God for rescue rather than receiving a mandate for private violence.
