Common Psalms

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... and with gratitude in your hearts
sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. (Col 3:15)

Common Psalms and Responses from the Australian Lectionary
One of the ways that those in schools, parishes and other settings can support the singing of the Responsorial Psalm and also stay true to the liturgical year in the Lectionary cycle is to build a small and well-known core repertoire of Psalms. Towards the end of the Lectionary, a range of Common Psalms and Common Responses are offered for consideration. These are arranged according to the liturgical season.
See below for further links to sheet music and recordings.
