Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.
6
So I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
7
Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah
8
I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest."
9
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10
Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
11
Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its 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 from him.
13
But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.
14
We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.
15
Let death seize them; Let them go down alive into hell, For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
