July 18th : Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 10:1–2, 3–4, 7–8b, 14 (R. 12b)
Response : Do not forget the poor, O Lord!
O Lord, why do you stand afar off, and hide yourself in times of distress? The poor are devoured by the pride of the wicked; they are caught in the schemes that others have made.
R.: Do not forget the poor, O Lord!
For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desires; the covetous blasphemes and spurns the Lord. The wicked says in his pride, “God will not punish. There is no God.” Such are his thoughts.
R.: Do not forget the poor, O Lord!
His mouth is full of cursing, guile, oppression; under his tongue are deceit and evil. He sits in ambush in the villages; in hidden places, he murders the innocent.
R.: Do not forget the poor, O Lord!
But you have seen the trouble and sorrow. You note it; you take it in your hands. The helpless one relies on you, for you are the helper of the orphan.
R.: Do not forget the poor, O Lord!
