The psalmist cries out, “Who will give me wings? then I will fly away and find rest.” He was either hoping for death or longing for solitude. This does happen, my friends. A desire for solitude does often arise in the mind of a servant of God from no other cause than a host of troubles and difficulties. You may be trying to correct a misguided person for whom you are responsible and find that all human effort and vigilance seems wasted. If you cannot correct them, all you can do is try to endure them. If such a burdensome person is one of your own, where will you got to get away?

—Commentary on Psalm 54.8
