## Psalms 55:5-8 in Context (Verses 2–11 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/psalms/55/2) Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
 
 [3 ](/kjv/psalms/55/3) 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 ](/kjv/psalms/55/4) My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/psalms/55/5) Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/psalms/55/6) And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! *for then* would I fly away, and be at rest.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/psalms/55/7) Lo, *then* would I wander far off, *and* remain in the wilderness. Selah.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/55/8) I would hasten my escape from the windy storm *and* tempest.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/55/9) Destroy, O Lord, *and* divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/55/10) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow *are* in the midst of it.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/55/11) Wickedness *is* in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
 
[Psalms 54](/kjv/psalms/54) [Psalms 56](/kjv/psalms/56)
