Psalm 22:21 -- "Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns."
According to Strong's Concordance (H7214), the word unicorn should be more properly rendered as the "wild bull". The Revised Version has "wild ox". The word unicorn occurs 8 other times, and each time it should be rendered as a wild bull or wild ox (compare Num 23:22, Num 24:8, Deut 33:17, Job 39:9, Job 39:10, Psa 29:6, Psa 92:10, and Isa 34:7).
This helps make sense of the verse, and adds to the sense of distress that Christ suffered during his trial and crucifixion.
