Psalm 55:5 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 55.

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught

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.

4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.

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

8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”

9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
