4. My heart pounds in my chestbecause death’s terrors have reached me.
5. Fear and trembling have come upon me;I’m shaking all over.
6. I say to myself,I wish I had wings like a dove!I’d fly away and rest.
7. I’d run so far away!I’d live in the desert. Selah
8. I’d hurry to my hideout,far from the rushing wind and storm.
9. Baffle them, my Lord!Confuse their languagebecause I see violence and conflict in the city.
10. Day and night they make their rounds on its walls,and evil and misery live inside it.
