Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

Verse 7 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.

Ich sprach: O hätte ich Flügel wie Tauben, da ich flöge und wo bliebe!
Ciertamente huiría lejos: Moraría en el desierto. (Selah.)
Me iría lejos y pasaría la noche en el desierto. Selah.
Voici, je fuirais bien loin, J'irais séjourner au désert; -Pause.
Ecco, io me ne fuggirei lontano; Io dimorerei nel deserto. Sela.
Eis que fugiria para longe, e pernoitaria no deserto. (Selá.)
看哪,我要遠走高飛, 宿在曠野。(細拉)
