Psalm 55:1-8

Names of God Bible

¹ Open your ears to my prayer, O Elohim.
    Do not hide from my plea for mercy.
² Pay attention to me, and answer me.
    My thoughts are restless, and I am confused
³         because my enemy shouts at me
            and a wicked person persecutes me.
                They bring misery crashing down on me,
    and they attack me out of anger.
⁴ My heart is in turmoil.
    The terrors of death have seized me.
⁵ Fear and trembling have overcome me.
    Horror has overwhelmed me.
⁶ I said, “If only I had wings like a dove—
    I would fly away and find rest.
⁷ Indeed, I would run far away.
    I would stay in the desert. Selah
⁸ I would hurry to find shelter
    from the raging wind and storm.”
