Psalm 55

¹Give ear to my prayer, O God; do not hide yourself from my supplication.

²Attend to me, and answer me; I am troubled in my complaint. I am distraught

³by the noise of the enemy, because of the clamor of the wicked. For they bring trouble upon me, and in anger they cherish enmity against me.

⁴My heart is in anguish within me, the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

⁵Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.

⁶And I say, “O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;

⁷truly, I would flee far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah

⁸I would hurry to find a shelter for myself from the raging wind and tempest.”
