Psalms 55:1-8

112Give ear to my prayer, O God; And 3do not hide Yourself from my supplication.2Give 4heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my 5complaint and 67am surely distracted,3Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the 8pressure of the wicked; For they 9bring down 10trouble upon me And in anger they 11bear a grudge against me.

4My 12heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of 13death have fallen upon me.5Fear and 14trembling come upon me, And 1516horror has overwhelmed me.6I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and 1718be at rest.7Behold, I would wander far away, I would 19lodge in the wilderness. 20Selah.8I would hasten to my place of refuge From the 21stormy wind and tempest.”
