Simple English Proper (Lumen Christi Gradual and Modal Responsorial Psalms). The Roman Missal gives us these Bible verses to be sung per the examples recorded: the congregation joins the cantor for the antiphon (printed), then the cantor sing the Psalm alone, then the congregation and cantor repeat the antiphon.

The chants for the presentation and adoration of the Cross, as well as for the Reproaches are identical in both Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite.
