Sometimes I feel dragged away with the
wicked,
or surrounded by too much coming and
going.
I need to find a deserted place where I
can go
all by myself and rest a while, where you
can open my heart so that eagerly I can
listen
for your word and be dismissed in peace--
lest I speak peace with my neighbors
while mischief is in my heart.
