    Hi all,
    Which is the correct version of the psalms for Mass? I thought it was the Revised Grail Psalms. I had a parishioner angry with me this weekend because the version of the text I was using did not match what he got from the USCCB website. The USCCB website's readings don't match the Revised Grail Psalms. Are they the original Grail Psalms?
    Is my parishioner just being a curmudgeon?

    Thanks

    Not familiar with all the minutiae of the USCCB Lectionary and its various editions. What I do know, however, is this: even if this angry parishioner was correct, that doesn't mean that he was in the right. At the very least, charity would demand a broad and generous application of Hanlon's razor.

    USCCB website uses the NAB psalms. Other translations are also ok for use in the liturgy at the moment.

    Are the NAB psalms, Grail Psalms, Revised Grail Psalms, and Abbey Psalms all approved for use at Mass?
