Psalms 55:3-11
-
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
-
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
-
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
-
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
-
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
-
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
-
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
-
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
-
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
