Psalms 55:8 Context
6And I said, O that I had wings like a doue; for then would I flee away and be at rest. 7Loe, then would I wander farre off, and remaine in the wildernesse. Selah. 8I would hasten my escape from the windie storme, and tempest. 9Destroy, O Lord, and diuide their tongues: for I haue seene violence and strife in the citie. 10Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: mischiefe also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
