Psalm 55 — Psalms 55:6–11

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Lo, then would I wander far off,
I would lodge in the wilderness.
[Selah

I would haste me to a shelter
From the stormy wind and tempest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue;
For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.
