Psalm 40

Responsorial Psalm

.
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.
I waited, I waited for the Lord, and He stooped down to me; He heard my cry.
He put a new song into my mouth, praise of our God. R.
You delight not in sacrifice and offerings, but in an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
Then I said, “See, I have come.” R.
In the scroll of the book it stands written of me:
“I delight to do your will, O my God;
your instruction lies deep within me.” R.
Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed; You know it, O Lord. R.

Responsorial Psalm

R. Lord, make haste to help me!
I waited, I waited for the Lord,
And he stooped down to me; / He heard my cry. R.
He drew me from the deadly pit, / from the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock, / made my footsteps firm. R.
He put a new song into my mouth,
Praise of our God.
Many shall see and fear
And shall trust in the Lord. R.
Wretched and poor though I am,
The Lord is mindful of me.
You are my rescuer, my help;
O my God, do not delay. R.
