Amplified Bible

Psalm 55:4-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. My heart is grievously pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

5. Fear and trembling have come upon me; horror and fright have overwhelmed me.

6. And I say, Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

7. Yes, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

8. I would hasten to escape and to find a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.

9. Destroy [their schemes], O Lord, confuse their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10. Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in its midst.
