- Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
- Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
- Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
- My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
- Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
|
- Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
- hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
- at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
- My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
- Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
|
- And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
- Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
- I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
|
- I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest-
- I would flee far away and stay in the desert; Selah
- I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."
