Psalms 55:1-8

1Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467.12 2AttendH7181 to 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 iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 me. 4My heartH3820 is greatly painedH2342 withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 have fallenH5307 upon me. 5FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 have comeH935 upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me.3 6And I saidH559, O thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then I would fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931. 7Lo, then I would wanderH5074 far offH7368, and remainH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542. 8I would hastenH2363 my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584 and tempestH5591.
