4 aMy 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 escape
From the windy storm
and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord,
and divide their
1 tongues,
For I have seen
aviolence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
aIniquity and trouble
are also in the midst of it.
