Have Mercy on Me, O God, in Your Goodness

Today's Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 18-19

R.    A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;

  in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.

Thoroughly wash me from my guilt

    and of my sin cleanse me.

R.    A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

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.    A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

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.    A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
