Psalm 55:3-5
New Catholic Bible

3 Listen to my cry and answer me,
    for my troubles afford me no peace.
4 I am terrified by the shouts of the enemy
    and the uproar of the wicked.
For they inflict troubles upon me,
    and in their anger they revile me.
5 [a]My heart[b] is filled with anguish,
    and I am beset by the terrors of death.
