Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 138:1-2, 2-3, 7-8

¹ [Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In the presence of angels I sing to you,

² I bow down before your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy; your promises surpass even your fame.

³ You heard me on the day when I called, and you gave new strength to my heart.

⁷ Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out your right hand and save me,

⁸ Yahweh will do all things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.

Gospel, Matthew 7:7-12

⁷ 'Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

⁸ Everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened.

⁹ Is there anyone among you who would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread?

¹⁰ Or would hand him a snake when he asked for a fish?

¹¹ If you, then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

¹² 'So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the Law and the Prophets.
