Responsorial Psalm for August 4, 2019 (by Owen Alstott)
Psalm 90

Response: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts”

Verse 1:
You turn man back to dust, saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday, now that it is past, or as a watch of the night.”

Verse 2:
You make an end of them in their sleep; the next morning they are like the changing grass,
Which at dawn springs up anew, but by evening wilts and fades.

Verse 3:
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart
Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants!

Verse 4:
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
And may the gracious care of the Lord our God be ours; Prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands!
