Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:165, 168, 171, 172, 174, 175

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 118:165, 168, 171-172, 174-175 (Psalm 119 at Mass)

¹⁶⁵Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block.

¹⁶⁸I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.

¹⁷¹My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications. ¹⁷²My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice.

¹⁷⁴I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation. ¹⁷⁵My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me.

Gospel: Mark 9:38-40

Douay-Rheims: Mark 9:37-39

³⁷John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him. ³⁸But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me. ³⁹For he that is not against you, is for you.

The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
