New Century Version

Psalms 55:5-10 New Century Version (NCV)

5. I am scared and shaking,and terror grips me.

6. I said, “I wish I had wings like a dove.Then I would fly away and rest.

7. I would wander far awayand stay in the desert.Selah

8. I would hurry to my place of escape,far away from the wind and storm.”

9. Lord, destroy and confuse their words,because I see violence and fighting in the city.

10. Day and night they are all around its walls,and evil and trouble are everywhere inside.
