1 Open your ears to my prayer, O God.Do not hide from my plea for mercy.
2 Pay attention to me, and answer me.My thoughts are restless, and I am confused
3 because my enemy shouts at meand a wicked person persecutes me.They bring misery crashing down on me,and they attack me out of anger.
4 My heart is in turmoil.The terrors of death have seized me.
5 Fear and trembling have overcome me.Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, “If only I had wings like a dove—I would fly away and find rest.
