2 hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught |
3 at the voice of the enemy,
at the stares of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering upon me
and revile me in their anger. |
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death assail me. |
5 Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me. |
6 I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest- |
7 I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;
