Psalms 55:1-8

1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.12 2Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 3Because 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. 4My heart is greatly pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. 5Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.3 6And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest. 7Lo, then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. 8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
