Psalms 55:7

7 I want some peace and quiet. I want a walk in the country,

Psalms 55:7 In-Context

5 I shake with fear, I shudder from head to foot.
6 "Who will give me wings," I ask - "wings like a dove?" Get me out of here on dove wings;
7 I want some peace and quiet. I want a walk in the country,
8 I want a cabin in the woods. I'm desperate for a change from rage and stormy weather.
9 Come down hard, Lord - slit their tongues. I'm appalled how they've split the city Into rival gangs prowling the alleys
