1 God, hear my prayer. Don’t ignore my cry for help.
2 Please listen and answer me. Let me speak to you and tell you what upsets me.
3 My enemies shout at me and threaten me. In their anger they attack me. They bring troubles crashing down on me.
4 My heart is pounding inside me. I am afraid to die.
5 I am trembling with fear. I am terrified!
6 Oh, I wish I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and find a place to rest.
7 I would go far into the desert and stay there. Selah
