Today’s Responsorial Psalm

Today’s assigned Responsorial Psalm (for the Thursday of the First Week in Lent) is another way to continue a prayer of thanksgiving. It is taken from Psalm 138 (Psalm 138: 1-3, 7-8):

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple and give thanks to your name.

R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Because of your kindness and your truth;
for you have made great above all things your name and your promise.
When I called, you answered me;
you built up strength within me.

R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Your right hand saves me.
The LORD will complete what he has done for me;
your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the work of your hands.

R. Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
