SCRIPTURE                                                  Psalm 55, selected verses
L1:  Give ear to my prayer, O God; do not hide yourself
from my supplication
L2:  Attend to me, and answer me; I am troubled in my
complaint.
L1:   I am distraught by the noise of the enemy.
My heart is in anguish within me,
L2:   Fear and trembling come upon me; horror overwhelms
me. And I say,
L1:  "O that I had wings like a dove!  I would fly away and be
at rest; I would hurry to find a shelter for myself from the
raging wind and storm."
L2:   Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
God will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Both: Lord, I will put my trust in You!
