32 This also shall please the Lord: better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 33 The humble shall consider this, and be glad seek ye after God, and your soul shall live. : 34 For the Lord heareth the poor despiseth not his prisoners. and 35 Let heaven and earth praise him : the sea, and all that moveth therein. 36 For God will save Sion, and build the cities of Judah that men may dwell there, and have it in possession. : 37 The posterity also of his servants shall inherit it and they that love his Name shall dwell therein. H PSALM LXX. Deus in adjutorium. ASTE thee, O God, to deliver me : make haste to help me, O Lord. 2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul : let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil. 3 Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame that cry over me, There, there. 4 But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee and let all such as delight in thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised. 5 As for me, I am poor and in misery : haste thee unto me, O God. 6 Thou art my helper, and my O Lord, make no long tarrying. IN MORNING PRAYER. redeemer : PSALM LXXI. In te, Domine, speravi.
