2(55:3) Listen unto me, and answer me: I mourn in my grief, and moan;
3(55:4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast wrong upon me, and in wrath they attack me.
4(55:5) My heart is sorely pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5(55:6) Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and shuddering hath covered me.
6(55:7) And I said, Oh that some one would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and dwell quietly.
7(55:8) Lo, I would flee far away, I would spend my night in the wilderness. Selah.
8(55:9) I would prepare hastily a refuge for me from the sweeping wind and from storm.
9(55:10) Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city;
10(55:11) Day and night do these encompass it upon her walls: and wrong and trouble are in her midst.
11(55:12) Mischief is in her midst: guile and deceit depart not from her streets.
