1. A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

2. O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

3. What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

4. the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

5. Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants of Kedar.

6. My soul has long been a sojourner.

7. With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.





“Se você não entrega seu coração a Deus, o que lhe entrega?” “Você deve seguir outra estrada. Tire de seu coração todas as paixões deste mundo, humilhe-se na poeira e reze! Dessa forma, certamente você encontrará Deus, que lhe dará paz e serenidade nesta vida e a eterna beatitude na próxima.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
