6. I say, “I wish I had wings like a dove!I would fly away and settle in a safe place!
7. Look, I will escape to a distant place;I will stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
8. I will hurry off to a place that is safefrom the strong wind and the gale.”
9. Confuse them, O Lord!Frustrate their plans!For I see violence and conflict in the city.
10. Day and night they walk around on its walls,while wickedness and destruction are within it.
11. Disaster is within it;violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
12. Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me,or else I could bear it;it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me,or else I could hide from him.
