Will our mass readings reflect the 2011 Catholic NAB revised edition, and if so, when?
 
It is an unfortunate situation, to say the least.

Does anyone know if Psalm 1:1 reads “Blessed is the man…” in this new revised version?

I don’t believe the answer to my question is in this article, that’s why I asked. The following quote from the article is related to a change incorporated in 1991. I am wondering what’s in the version now being released:
In the third edition (1991), a revised translation of the Psalms appeared that systematically introduced inclusive language to the Psalter. Thus, “blessed the man” (Ps. 1:1)– a literal translation of the Hebrew– was replaced by “happy those.”

Sorry, I read the article again, and your answer isn’t there.
 
The versions of the Scriptures we hear in the liturgy will not be changed. It is an entirely different revision and approval process and it is doubtful the US Bishops will want to go through that type of process so soon after completing this one.

You’ll find lots of discussion of this at the blog below:

In RCIA this week, our priest talked with the group about the Hail Mary prayer (Hail, Full of Grace, blessed are you amoung women). He commented that the words come directly from Scripture.

None of the Bibles written for protestant denominations have “Hail, Full of Grace” in them AND neither does the Catholic NAB.

OK so we will be using the current one (which seems to be dated 1970) for a long time to come? That would be good news.

I will check out the link you provided. Thanks!
