Psalms 55:5-16

⁵Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.

⁶And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.

⁷Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. Selah.

⁸Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.

¹⁰Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.

¹¹Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.

¹²Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.

¹³But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:

¹⁴Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.

¹⁵Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them.

¹⁶But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
