My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."

You are my hiding place, You are my shelter when surrounded by the raging wind and tempest of the sin and evil in the culture around me. You are my shield against contamination by the arrows of temptation fired at me by the servants of the Evil One.
