Psalm 55:5-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Fear and trembling grip me;
horror has overwhelmed me.(A)
6 I said, “If only I had[a] wings like a dove!
I would fly away and find rest.(B)
7 How far away I would flee;
I would stay in the wilderness.(C)
8 I would hurry to my shelter
from the raging wind and the storm.”(D)
9 Lord, confuse[b] and confound their speech,[c](E)
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;(F)
11 destruction is inside it;
oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.(G)
