New Testament

Psalms 55:5-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. Fear and trembling come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.

6. I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

7. "Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.

8. "I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind and tempest."

9. Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10. Day and night they go around her upon her walls, And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.

11. Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.

12. For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.
