1. Listen, God, to my prayer!Don't reject my request.
2. Please listen and help me.My thoughts are troubled,and I keep groaning
3. because my loud enemiesshout and attack.They treat me terriblyand hold angry grudges.
4. My heart is racing fast,and I am afraid of dying.
5. I am trembling with fear,completely terrified.
6. I wish I had wingslike a dove,so I could fly far awayand be at peace.
7. I would go and livein some distant desert.
8. I would quickly find shelterfrom howling windsand raging storms.
9. Confuse my enemies, Lord!Upset their plans.Cruelty and violenceare all I see in the city,
10. and they are like guardson patrol day and night.The city is full of trouble,evil,
