Good News Bible

Psalms 55:6-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. I wish I had wings, like a dove.I would fly away and find rest.

7. I would fly far awayand make my home in the desert.

8. I would quickly find myself a shelterfrom the raging wind and the storm.

9. Confuse the speech of my enemies, O Lord!I see violence and riots in the city,

10. surrounding it day and night,filling it with crime and trouble.

11. There is destruction everywhere;the streets are full of oppression and fraud.

12. If it were an enemy that mocked me,I could endure it;if it were an opponent boasting over me,I could hide myself from him.
