Psalms, 21

2. The king rejoices in your strength, O Lord, and exults in your saving help.

3. You have granted him his desire; you have not rejected his request.

4. You have come to him with rich blessings; you have placed a golden crown upon his head.

5. When he asked, you gave him life - length of days forever and ever.

6. He glories in the victory you gave him; you shall bestow on him splendor and majesty.

7. You have given him eternal blessings, and gladdened him with the joy of your presence.

8. The king trusts in the Lord, and through the love of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

9. Your hand, O Lord, will reach your enemies, and lay hold of all your foes.

10. Your mere appearance will turn them into a blazing furnace. Your wrath will engulf them like a fire.

11. You will wipe their fruit from the earth and destroy their posterity.

12. Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they will never win;

13. they will turn back in fear, when you aim arrows at them.

14. Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength! We will sing in praise of your might.

“Pobres e desafortunadas as almas que se envolvem no turbilhão de preocupações deste mundo. Quanto mais amam o mundo, mais suas paixões crescem, mais queimam de desejos, mais se tornam incapazes de atingir seus objetivos. E vêm, então, as inquietações, as impaciências e terríveis sofrimentos profundos, pois seus corações não palpitam com a caridade e o amor. Rezemos por essas almas desafortunadas e miseráveis, para que Jesus, em Sua infinita misericórdia, possa perdoá-las e conduzi-las a Ele.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
