20th Sunday in Ordinary Time C: Responsorial Psalm

Lord, come to my aid!

Verse 1:

I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me.

Verse 2:

The LORD heard my cry.
He drew me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the mud of the swamp;
he set my feet upon a crag;
he made firm my steps.

Verse 3:

And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Many shall look on in awe
and trust in the LORD.

Verse 4:

Though I am afflicted and poor,
yet the LORD thinks of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, hold not back!
