New King James Version

Psalms 55:6-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.

10. Day and night they go around it on its walls;Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.

11. Destruction is in its midst;Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
