- Listen to my prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help!
- Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.
- My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats. They bring trouble on me and angrily hunt me down.
- My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me.
- Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can't stop shaking.
- Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!
- I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness. Interlude
- How quickly I would escape— far from this wild storm of hatred.
- Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
- Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city.
- Everything is falling apart; threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.
- It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.
- Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend.
- What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.
- Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave[2] swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.
- But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.
- Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.
- He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me.
- God, who has ruled forever, will hear me and humble them. Interlude For my enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God.
- As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises.
- His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!
- Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
- But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me.
