Psalms

²Please listen and answer me. Let me speak to you and tell you what upsets me. ³My enemies shout at me and threaten me. In their anger they attack me. They bring troubles crashing down on me. ⁴My heart is pounding inside me. I am afraid to die. ⁵I am trembling with fear. I am terrified! ⁶Oh, I wish I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and find a place to rest. ⁷I would go far into the desert and stay there. Selah ⁸I would run away. I would escape from this storm of trouble.
