Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Clementine Vulgate
Psalms 69
1In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. 2[Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina. 3Confundantur, et revereantur, qui qurunt animam meam. 4Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge! 5Exsultent et ltentur in te omnes qui qurunt te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum. 6Ego vero egenus et pauper sum; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu; Domine, ne moreris.]
