Help reading Khom script on these Sak Yant designs + verse/design recommendations?

1. Translation. I found these two designs on Pinterest and can't find the artist or source. Can anyone read the Khom/Khmer-style script, or recognize the katha (verse) from its shape? Even a name or a rough meaning would help. The photos are low resolution, so I understand if it's hard to tell.
2. Recommendations. I want something with real, respectful meaning, not just a design copied from a photo. Could you suggest:
Traditional verses or kathas for protection, strength, or good fortune
Layouts and designs that suit a spine or back piece
How to find a legitimate traditional practitioner or a reputable artist who works in this style
I'm not looking to copy anything blindly. I want to understand what I'm putting on my body and where it comes from. Thank you, any guidance is appreciated.

Creature from Cambodian folklore

Can anyone tell me which mythical creature this drawing depicts? Is it associated with death? The drawing is from a comic by the French-Cambodian artist Séra.
