Vespers, Annunciation of the Lord, 25 March

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.

Psalm 117
Let my prayer come before you like incense.
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 my evening prayer rise up, O Lord, as the incense before you.

All Amen.
