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.

Psalms 69
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. 2O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me. 3May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed. 4May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.” 5Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.” 6I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
