2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Verse 1:
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Verse 2:
Sacrifice or offering you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, “Behold I come.”
Verse 3:
“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
to do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!”
Verse 4:
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
