4 My heart is severely pained within me.The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me.Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Behold, then I would wander far off.I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.
8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls.Malice and abuse are also within her.
