March 25th : Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 39(40):7-11 

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,

  but an open ear.

You do not ask for holocaust and victim.

  Instead, here am I.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

In the scroll of the book it stands written

  that I should do your will.

My God, I delight in your law

  in the depth of my heart.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

Your justice I have proclaimed

  in the great assembly.

My lips I have not sealed;

  you know it, O Lord.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

I have not hidden your justice in my heart

  but declared your faithful help.

I have not hidden your love and your truth

  from the great assembly.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.
