Vespers, Annunciation of the Lord, 25 March

Psalm 147
But there is forgiveness with you; *
so that you shall be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits for him, *
and in his word is my hope.
My soul looks for the Lord; *
more than watchmen for the morning,
more, I say, than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, *
and with him is ample redemption.
He will redeem Israel *
from the multitude of his sins.
Glory to …

and he shall reign for ever.
O praise the Lord, for it is good to sing praises to our God; *
and to praise him is joyful and right.
The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem; *
he is gathering together the scattered outcasts of Israel.
He heals the broken in spirit *
and binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars *
and calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power; *
there is no measuring his understanding.
