2Hear me, and answer; for bitter is my lament.
3I am wild with the noise of the foe, with the clamor of the ungodly; for they hurl disaster upon me, and attack me with fury.
4My heart shudders within me, terrors of deaths press on me,
5fear and trembling attack me, and horror wraps me round.
6O for the wings of a dove: I would fly away and rest.
7I would wander far away, find refuge in the wilderness. Selah
8I would find myself a shelter from raging wind and tempest.
9Confuse them, Lord, upset their plans; for I see violence and strife in the city.
10By day and by night they make their rounds on the city walls, while within is crime and trouble,
11within is ruin. Her market-place is never free of deceit and tyranny.
12The taunts were not those of a foe that I could have borne; the disdain was not that of an enemy I could have shunned them:
13but it was you, my equal, my dear and familiar friend.
