Psalm
Psalm 69
R. Seek God in your need, and let your hearts revive.
As for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me. With your steadfast help, rescue me. Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. R.
But I am lowly and in pain; let your salvation, O God, protect me. I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him ·with thanksgiving. R.
Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. R.
For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; the children of his servants shall inherit it, those who love his name shall live in it. R.

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple. R.
