Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 55 of Psalms. Psalm 55 combines personal anguish, social violence, and betrayal by a close friend. The possibility of escaping by flight contrasts with the reality of remaining within a city dominated by conflict. The betrayal is especially painful because it comes from someone who shared worship and friendship. The counsel to cast one’s burden upon the Lord turns an experience of anxiety into an invitation to trust in God’s continual care.

Mein Herz ängstet sich in meinem Leibe, und des Todes Furcht ist auf mich gefallen.
Temor y temblor vinieron sobre mí, Y terror me ha cubierto.
El temor y el temblor me invaden, y el horror me cubre.
La crainte et l'épouvante m'assaillent, Et le frisson m'enveloppe.
Paura e tremito mi è sopraggiunto; E terrore mi ha coperto.
Temor e tremor vieram sobre mim; e o horror me cobriu.
恐懼戰兢臨到了我, 驚恐籠罩我。
