I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 8 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.

Siehe, so wollt ich ferne wegfliehen und in der Wüste bleiben. (Sela.)
Apresuraríame a escapar Del viento tempestuoso, de la tempestad.
Me apresuraría a buscar refugio del viento impetuoso y de la tempestad».
Je m'échapperais en toute hâte, Plus rapide que le vent impétueux, que la tempête.
Io mi affretterei di scampare Dal vento impetuoso e dal turbo
Apressar-me-ia a escapar da fúria do vento e da tempestade.
我要速速逃到避難之所, 脫離狂風暴雨。」
