Psalms 55:6-14

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.

¹²(55:13) For it is not an enemy that reproached me; then I could bear it: not he that hateth me hath magnified himself against me; then I would have hidden myself from him;

¹³(55:14) But it is thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance;

¹⁴(55:15) So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.
