Psalms, 70

1. For the leader; of David. For remembrance.

2. Graciously rescue me, God! Come quickly to help me, LORD!

3. Confound and put to shame those who seek my life. Turn back in disgrace those who desire my ruin.

4. Let those who say "Aha!" turn back in their shame.

5. But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. May those who long for your help always say, "God be glorified!"

6. Here I am, afflicted and poor. God, come quickly! You are my help and deliverer. LORD, do not delay!

“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
