Jubilee Bible

The Psalms Of David 55:5-13 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.

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

7. Behold, then I would flee far away and dwell in the wilderness. Selah.

8. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof; deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it, neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13. But it was thou, who in my estimation was, my lord, and of my own family.
