1 David said: God, please hear me. Please do not hide from me. 2 Please help me and hear me. I am very sad, and I cry loud. 3 Bad men yell at me. They are mean to me. They hate me. ️ 4 My heart hurts so much. I feel like I may die. 5 I am very afraid. I shake all over. 6 I wish I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and rest. ️ 7 I would go far away. I would stay in a wild place. ♂️️ 8 I would run fast and get away from the big storm. ♂️️ 9 Lord, please make their bad talk stop. I see fights in the city. ️❌️ 10 All day and all night, bad things are in the city. There is hurt there. ️ 11 Mean and lies stay in the streets. ️ 12 It was not a bad guy who hurt me. I could hide from a bad guy. ♂️♂️ 13 It was you! You were my friend. You were close to me. 14 We talked nice, and we went to God’s house together. ️⛪ 15 God, stop the bad men now. Make them fall in a deep hole. They do many bad things at home. ✋️ 16 But I will call to God. The Lord will save me. 17 At night, in the morning, and at noon, I pray and cry loud. God will hear me. 18 God kept me safe and gave me peace. Many fought me, but God saved me. ️️ 19 God will hear and will stop them. They do not care about God. ✋ 20 My friend hurt people who were at peace with him. He broke his promise. ❌ 21 His words were smooth like butter, but his heart was ready to fight. His nice words were like sharp knives. 22 Give your big worries to the Lord. He will hold you up. He will not let good people fall. ➡️ 23 God, You will bring bad liars down to a deep hole. They will not live long. But I will trust You. ️⏳
