Overwhelmed

Listen to my prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help!

Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.

My enemies shout at me,

My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me.

Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking.

Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!

I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness.

Everything is falling apart;

But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.

Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hearsmy voice.

Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will notpermit the godly to slip and fall.
