2. Attend to me, and hear me;I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
3. Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the oppression of the wicked;For they bring down trouble upon me,And in wrath they hate me.
4. My heart is severely pained within me,And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,And horror has overwhelmed me.
6. So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!I would fly away and be at rest.
7. Indeed, I would wander far off,And remain in the wilderness.Selah
8. I would hasten my escapeFrom the windy storm and tempest.”
9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues,For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
