7 yea, I would wander afar,

I would lodge in the wilderness, [Selah]

8 I would haste to find me a shelter

from the raging wind and tempest.”

9 Destroy their plans,j O Lord, confuse their tongues;

for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around it

on its walls;

and mischief and trouble are within it,

11 ruin is in its midst;

oppression and fraud

do not depart from its market place.
