112ListenH238 to my prayerH8605, GodH430; And 3do not hideH5956 Yourself from my pleadingH8467.2GiveH7181 Your 4attentionH7181 to me and answerH6030 me; I am restlessH7300 in my 5complaintH7879 and 67severelyH1949 distractedH1949,3BecauseH4480 of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH340, BecauseH4480H6440 of the 8pressureH6125 of the wickedH7563; For they 9bringH4131 downH4131 10troubleH205 upon me And in angerH639 they 11holdH7852 aH7852 grudgeH7852 againstH7852 me.
4My 12heartH3820 isH2342 inH2342 anguishH2342 withinH7130 me, And the terrorsH367 of 13deathH4194 have fallenH5307 upon me.5FearH3374 and 14tremblingH7461 comeH935 upon me, And 1516horrorH6427 has 17overwhelmedH3680 me.6I saidH559, “OhH4310H5414, that I hadH5414 wingsH83 like a doveH3123! I would flyH5774 awayH5774 and 1819beH7931 atH7931 restH7931.7BeholdH2009, I would fleeH5074 farH7368 awayH7368, I would 20spendH3885 my nightsH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH55428I would hurryH2363 to my placeH4655 ofH4655 refugeH4655 From the 21stormyH5584 windH7307 and heavyH5591 galeH5591.”
