1. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and do not hide thyself from my supplication.
2. Attend unto me and hear me: I mourn in my complaint and make a noise
3. because of the voice of the enemy because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4. My heart is sore pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away and be at rest.
7. Behold, then I would flee far away and dwell in the wilderness. Selah.
