Psalm 55 Once Again...
I never thought this verse would come back again and again to comfort me. But this week I have needed it again. Thanks to Dan Allender who pointed it out to me for the first time last February. In this fallen and depraved world I'm sure this will be a life verse I have to cling to over and over again until one day I meet my true friend who never disappoints.
"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; I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.'...For it is not an enemy who taunts me - then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me - then I could hide from him. But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. We used to take sweet council together; within God's house we walked in the throng...But I call to God, and the Lord will save me. Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:4-8, 12-13, 16, 22

Your verses reminded me of a celtic song by a group called "The Crossing". The song is called "Ecstasy" and there is a snipet of it available on this website. If you're interested, I could probably find my copy of it.
