Context of Psalms 55:5
3Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me And in anger they bear a grudge against me. 4My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me. 6I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. 7Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
