"The psalm as a rule is drawn from the Lectionary because the individual psalm texts are directly connected with the individual readings: the choice of psalm depends therefore on the readings. Nevertheless, in order that the people may be able to join in the responsorial psalm more readily, some texts of responses and psalms have been chosen (according to the different seasons of the year and classes of saints) for optional use, whenever the psalm is sung, in place of the text corresponding to the reading." • General Instruction of the Roman Missal
