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.
Douay-Rheims 1899
Psalms 69
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. 2O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me. 3Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul: 4Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well. 5Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified. 6But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
