Responsorial Psalms for Lent Year B by Emre Matthew — Lyrics

[RPL 001: Ash Wednesday (Yr A,B,C)] RESPONSE Have mercy, O Lord, for we have sinned. VERSES 1. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your merciful love; according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. Wash me completely from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 2. My transgressions truly I know them; my sin is always before me. Against you, you alone, have I sinned; what is evil in your sight, I have done. 3. Create a pure heart for me, O God; renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence; take not your holy spirit from me. 4. Restore in me the joy of your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. [RPL 002: First Sunday of Lent (Yr B)] RESPONSE All your paths, O Lord, are mercy and faithfulness for those who keep your covenant. VERSES 1. O Lord, make me know your ways. Teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God of my salvation. 2. Remember your compassion, O Lord, and your merciful love, for they are from of old. In your merciful love remember me, because of your goodness, O Lord. 3. Good and upright is the Lord; he shows the way to sinners. He guides the humble in right judgement; to the humble he teaches his way. [RPL 003: Second Sunday of Lent (YrB)] RESPONSE
