6 I said, “If only I had wings like a dove!I would fly away and find rest.
7 How far away I would flee;I would stay in the wilderness. Selah
8 I would hurry to my shelterfrom the raging wind and the storm.”
9 Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city;
10 day and night they make the rounds on its walls.Crime and trouble are within it;
11 destruction is inside it;oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.
12 Now it is not an enemy who insults me —otherwise I could bear it;it is not a foe who rises up against me —otherwise I could hide from him.
