1God, listen to my prayer, and do not turn away from me while I am pleading with you.
2Listen to me, and answer me, because I am overwhelmed by all my troubles.
3My enemies cause me to be terrified; wicked people oppress me. They cause me to have great troubles; they are angry with me, and they hate me.
4I am terrified, and I am very much afraid that I will die.
5I am very fearful and I tremble/shake, and I am completely terrified.
6I said, “I wish that I had wings like a dove! If I had wings, I would fly away and find a place to rest.
7I would fly far away and live in the desert.
Psalms 55
Psalms 55:1-7
