Reach

1 Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; 2 hear me and answer me.

My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught 3 at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.

4 My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.

5 Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.

6 I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

7 I would flee far away and stay in the desert.

-Psalm 55:1-7
