1. Listen to my prayer, God.Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
2. Attend to me, and answer me.I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
3. Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the oppression of the wicked.For they bring suffering on me.In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4. My heart is severely pained within me.The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5. Fearfulness and trembling have come on me.Horror has overwhelmed me.
6. I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7. Behold, then I would wander far off.I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.
8. “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
