4aMy 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.
12aFor itis not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor isit one who hates me who has bexalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.
13 But itwas you, a man my equal, aMy companion and my acquaintance.
