3. Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me.
4. My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.
6. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7. Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness.
8. I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.
9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
