Psalm 55:7-11
New International Version

7 I would flee far away
    and stay in the desert;[a](A)
8 I would hurry to my place of shelter,(B)
    far from the tempest and storm.(C)”

9 Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,(D)
    for I see violence and strife(E) in the city.(F)
10 Day and night they prowl(G) about on its walls;
    malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces(H) are at work in the city;
    threats and lies(I) never leave its streets.
