Psalms 55:2-8

²(55-3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;

³(55-4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.

⁴(55-5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁵(55-6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

⁶(55-7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.

⁷(55-8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah

⁸(55-9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
