3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.

5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.

6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
