2 Attend unto me and hear me I mourn in my complaint and make a noise
3 Because of the voice of the enemy because of the oppression of the wicked for they cast iniquity upon me and in wrath they hate 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 for then would I fly away and be at rest
7 Lo then would I wander far off and remain in the wilderness Selah
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest
9 Destroy O Lord and divide their tongues for I have seen violence and strife in the city
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof deceit and guile depart not from her streets
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me then I could have borne it neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me then I would have hid myself from him
13 But it was thou a man mine equal my guide and mine acquaintance
14 We took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company
15 Let death seize upon them and let them go down quick into hell for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them
16 As for me I will call upon God and the LORD shall save me
17 Evening and morning and at noon will I pray and cry aloud and he shall hear my voice
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me for there were many with me
19 God shall hear and afflict them even he that abideth of old Selah Because they have no changes therefore they fear not God
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him he hath broken his covenant
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter but war was in his heart his words were softer than oil yet were they drawn swords
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved
23 But thou O God shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days but I will trust in thee
