Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the (A)pressure of the wicked;
For they (B)bring down [a]trouble upon me
And in anger they (C)hold a grudge against me.

My (D)heart is in anguish within me,
And the terrors of (E)death have fallen upon me.
Fear and (F)trembling come upon me,
And [b](G)horror has [c]overwhelmed me.
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and [d](H)be at rest.
Behold, I would flee far away,
I would (I)spend my nights in the wilderness. Selah
