1. God, listen to my prayer.Do not ignore my prayer.
2. Pay attention to me and answer me.I am troubled and upset
3. by what the enemy saysand how the wicked look at me.They bring troubles down on me.In anger they attack me.
4. I am frightened inside.The terror of death has attacked me.
5. I am scared and shaking.Terror grips me.
6. I said, “I wish I had wings like a dove.Then I would fly away and rest.
7. I would wander far away.I would stay in the desert. Selah
8. I would hurry to my place of escape,far away from the wind and storm.”
9. Lord, destroy and confuse their words.I see violence and fighting in the city.
