Responsorial Psalm - OT 27 Year A

    For some reason, a number of worship aids as well as the USCCB website, capitalize the middle of a sentence in the second verse of this week's responsorial psalm. (The edition of the Lectionary our parish owns corrects the error.)

    No big deal, except that it just elicited the following from my wife in rehearsal, about to cantor the evening Mass:

    "The boar from the forest lays its waste,
    and the beasts of the field feed upon it?"

    Eww... wait, what?

    BEWARE!

    Yet another reason to use the revised Grail.

    "Then why have you broken down its walls? It is plucked by all who pass by the way. It is ravaged by the boar of the forest, and devoured by the beasts of the field."

    I usually use the Revised Grail - I won't get into why I couldn't use it this weekend.
