From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

My soul is among lions -That is, among people who resemble lions; men, fierce, savage, ferocious. And I lie even among them that are set on fire -We have a term of similar import in common use now, when we say that one is “inflamed” with passion, referring to one who is infuriated and enraged. So we speak of “burning” with rage or wrath - an expression derived, perhaps, from the inflamed “appearance” of a man in anger. The idea here is not that he “would” lie down calmly among those persons, as Prof. Alexander suggests, but that he actually “did” thus lie down.
