Psalm 55:4–14

4  My heart is sore pained within me:

And gthe terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5  hFearfulness and htrembling are come upon me,

And ihorror hath †overwhelmed me.

6  And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!

For then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7  Lo, then would I wander far off,

And remain in the wilderness. Selah.

8  I would hasten my escape

From the windy storm and jtempest.

9  jjDestroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:

For I have seen kviolence and strife in the city.

10  Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11  lWickedness is in the midst thereof:

mDeceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12  For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it:

Neither was it he that hated me that did nmagnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13  But it was thou, †a man mine equal,

My oguide, and mine pacquaintance.

14  †We took sweet qcounsel together,

And rwalked unto the house of God in qcompany.
