The Baptism of the Lord, Year C: Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 104:1b-2, 3-4, 24-25, 27-28, 29-30
O bless the Lord, my soul.
Verse 1:
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
You are clothed with majesty and glory,
robed in light as with a cloak.
You have spread out the heavens like a tent-cloth;
Verse 2:
You have constructed your palace upon the waters.
You make the clouds your chariot;
you travel on the wings of the wind.
You make the winds your messengers,
and flaming fire your ministers.
Verse 3:
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you have wrought them all
the earth is full of your creatures;
the sea also, great and wide,
in which are schools without number
of living things both small and great.
Verse 4:
They look to you to give them food in due time.
When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
Verse 5:
If you take away your breath, they perish and return to the dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
