Psalm 55:7

Betrayal By A Friend

⁶
And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
⁷ 
“I would wander far away,
I would lodge in the [peace of the] wilderness. Selah.

“I would hurry to my refuge [my tranquil shelter far away]
From the stormy wind and from the tempest.”

Oh that I had in the wilderness
A lodging place (a mere shelter) for wayfaring men,

And go away from them!

[They are] an assembly of treacherous men [of weak character, men without integrity].
