22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A: Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

Verse 1:

O God, you are my God whom I seek;
   for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
   like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.

Verse 2:

Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
   to see your power and your glory,
for your kindness is a greater good than life;
   my lips shall glorify you.

Verse 3:

Thus will I bless you while I live;
   lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
   and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.

Verse 4:

You are my help,
   and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you;
   your right hand upholds me.
