5 Fear and trembling have come upon me;I’m shaking all over.
6 I say to myself,I wish I had wings like a dove!I’d fly away and rest.
7 I’d run so far away!I’d live in the desert. Selah
8 I’d hurry to my hideout,far from the rushing wind and storm.
9 Baffle them, my Lord!Confuse their languagebecause I see violence and conflict in the city.
10 Day and night they make their rounds on its walls,and evil and misery live inside it.
11 Disaster lives inside it;oppression and fraud never leave the town square.
