Psalm 17:10-12

They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance. They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground. They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

They close up their callous hearts 
Psalm 73:7  From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits.
Psalm 119:70  Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
Isaiah 6:10  "Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

and their mouths speak with arrogance 
1 Samuel 2:3  "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed."

They have tracked me down, they now surround me 
Psalm 88:17  All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me.

They are like a lion 
Psalm 7:1-2  LORD, my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
Jeremiah 5:6  Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them (the people of Jerusalem), a wolf from the desert will ravage them, a leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces any who venture out, for their rebellion is great and their backslidings many.
Jeremiah 12:8  "My inheritance (God's land and people) has become to me like a lion in the forest. She roars at me; therefore I hate her."
Lamentations 3:10-11  Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding, he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help.

hungry for prey 
Genesis 49:9  "You are a lion's cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion crouches and lies down, like a lioness--who dares to arouse him?"
