Responsorial Psalm for Thursday of the 20th Week in Ordinary Time II

Psalm 51:12-13, 14-15, 18-19 and Ezekiel 36:25

Summary: Create a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit. God does not desire sacrifices but a humble heart. He cleanses and forgives, restoring joy and sustaining a willing spirit.

A Plea for Renewal and Forgiveness

R. I will pour clean water on you and wash away all your sins.

A clean heart create for me, O God,
and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
Cast me not out from your presence,
and your Holy Spirit take not from me.

R. I will pour clean water on you and wash away all your sins.

Give me back the joy of your salvation,
and a willing spirit sustain in me.
I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners shall return to you.

R. I will pour clean water on you and wash away all your sins.

For you are not pleased with sacrifices;
should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

R. I will pour clean water on you and wash away all your sins.
