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
8 I would run away. I would escape from this storm of trouble.
9 My Lord, confuse their words and stop their plans. I see so much cruelty and fighting in this city.
10 Day and night, in every neighborhood, the city is filled with evil and trouble.
