Steve, I was trying to return the thread back to Kenneth's original proposal, so I decided not to list the few documents in which the marginal reading was found. I listed the LXX because that was apparently on the path that the standard modern translation took. But you're right, the specific sources listed by BHS were DSS fragments.
As for כארי, it may not make any sense to us to translate it "like a lion," but it must have meant something to scribes who passed on the document. Otherwise, wouldn't we have found a qere here? Or do you have another proposal why this is the form found in the overwhelming majority of sources?

One says כארו and the other כר with the fragment ending after the resh. Additionally, I don't think "like a lion my hands and my feet" makes sense.
