Psalms 55:1-8

112Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467.

2AttendH7181 unto me, and hearH6030 me: I mournH7300 in my complaintH7879, and make a noiseH1949;

3Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341, becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563: for they castH4131 afflictionH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 me.

4My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342 withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307 upon me.

5FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935 upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me.3

6And I saidH559, Oh thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then would I fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931.

7Lo, then would I wanderH5074 far offH7368, and remainH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542.

8I would hastenH2363 my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584 and tempestH5591.
