Vespers, Annunciation of the Lord, 25 March

But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; *
in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life.
Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me *
and from the traps of the evildoers.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, *
while I myself escape.

I lift up my hands to you, O Lord.
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all you nations; *
laud him, all you peoples.
For his loving-kindness toward us is great, *
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever. Alleluia.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.

Let the lifting up of my hands, O Lord, be an evening sacrifice to you.
