It’s laid out in the Lectionaries. I don’t know too much about the history of it, but there are two Lectionaries that run concurrnetly. One is the three year Sunday Lectionary and the two year Daily Lectionary. There used to be only one Lectionary but it was updated with the Pauline Mass.Who assigns the bible verses that are read in mass every day. The 1st reading, 2nd reading, psalm, and Gospel.

Liturgy is the public prayer of the Church, that is Mass, the sacraments and the liturgy of the hours. The Mass IS liturgy, it does not “contain” liturgy within itself. A committee of bishops and other advisors came up with the 3-year Sunday and 2-year daily lectionary cycles following VII. the history of that process is described in the into notes to most volumes of the lectionary and in many editions of the New American Bible.

The priest who celebrates the Mass decides. Sometimes he is not given a choice, but often he does have one.Who assigns the bible verses that are read in mass every day. The 1st reading, 2nd reading, psalm, and Gospel.
The decision may be based on directions from the parish priest or bishop. It may be based on consultation with lay people. For example at a funeral or marriage he would often allow those involved to choose the readings.
According to the Introduction to the Lectionary for Mass
“78. The Order of Readings sometimes leaves it to the celebrant to choose between alternative texts or to choose from one of the several listed together for the same reading. The option seldom exists on Sundays, solemnities, or the greater feasts in order not to obscure the proper character of the particular liturgical season or needlessly interrupt the semicontinuous reading of some biblical book. On the other hand, the option is given readily in celebrations of the saints, in ritual Masses, Masses for various needs and occasions, votive Masses and Masses for the dead.”
