Psalms 55:5-11 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

5. I am gripped by fear and trembling;I am overcome with horror.

6. I wish I had wings, like a dove.I would fly away and find rest.

7. I would fly far awayand make my home in the desert.

8. I would quickly find myself a shelterfrom the raging wind and the storm.

9. Confuse the speech of my enemies, O Lord!I see violence and riots in the city,

10. surrounding it day and night,filling it with crime and trouble.

11. There is destruction everywhere;the streets are full of oppression and fraud.
