Psalms 55:6
Compare all
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 their1 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. 
11 Destruction is in its midst;
aOppression and deceit do not depart from its streets. 
12 aFor it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has bexalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him. 
13 But it was you, a man my equal,
aMy companion and my acquaintance.
