Psalms 55:6-11

6 I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest—

7 I would flee far away
and stay in the desert; Selah

8 I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm.”

9 Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech,
for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls;
malice and abuse are within it.

11 Destructive forces are at work in the city;
threats and lies never leave its streets.
