Psalm 70 It is not cited in the options for various Mass liturgies so no text is provided. "Psalm 70. An individual lament, almost identical with Psalm 40:14-18. It may have been an independent poem originally. The description of the psalmist's distress is very vague. He is persecuted by enemies who seek his life (3-4), and he seems to contrast himself ("afflicted," "poor," 6) with those who "seek" God (5). But his trust is in the Lord as his "help" and "deliverer."[1]
