Psalm 55:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷I would ·wander [flee] far away
and stay in the ·desert [wilderness]. ·Selah [Interlude]
⁸I would hurry to my place of escape,
far away from the raging wind and ·storm [tempest].”

⁹Lord, ·destroy [or frustrate; or check; or confuse; ^Lswallow] and ·confuse [confound; ^Ldivide] their ·words [speech; or plans; ^Ltongues; Gen. 11:1–9],
because I see violence and ·fighting [strife; contention; accusation] in the city.
