1st Sunday of Advent, Year B: Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 80:2-3, 15-16, 18-19

Lord make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.

Verse 1:

O shepherd of Israel, hearken,
from your throne upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Rouse your power,
and come to save us.

Verse 2:

Once again, O LORD of hosts,
look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted,
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.

Verse 3:

May your help be with the man of your right hand,
with the son of man whom you yourself made strong.
Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
