pour your love into our hearts,

PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon:
In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David,
I will place a lamp for my anointed.

Psalm 132
Remember, O Lord, for David all his anxious care:
How he swore to the Lord, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

“I will not enter the house I live in, nor lie on the couch where I sleep;
I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,

Till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the
Mighty One of Jacob.”

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in
the fields of Jaar.

Let us enter into his dwelling, let us worship at
his footstool.

Advance, O Lord, to your resting place,
you and the ark of your majesty.

May your priests be clothed with justice;
let your faithful ones shout merrily for joy.

For the sake of David your servant, reject not the
plea of your anointed.

The Lord swore to David a firm promise from which
he will not withdraw:
“Your own offspring I will set upon your throne;

If your sons keep my covenant and the decrees which
I shall teach them,

Their sons, too, forever shall sit upon your throne.”

For the Lord has chosen Zion; he prefers her for his dwelling.

“Zion is my resting place forever; in her will I dwell,
for I prefer her.

I will bless her with abundant provision,
her poor I will fill with bread.

Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her
faithful ones shall shout merrily for joy.

In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David;
I will place a lamp for my anointed.

His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but upon him my crown shall shine.”

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.

Antiphon:
In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David,
I will place a lamp for my anointed.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
O Son,
condescending to become one of us,
you humbled yourself and came down to earth.
Stretch forth your merciful right hand upon us,
that it may protect us from the enemy,
now and for ever.
Amen.
EVENING PSALMS
Psalm 141:1-4
O Lord, to you I call; hasten to me;
harken to my voice when I call upon you.
Let my prayer come like incense before you;
the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.

O Lord, set a watch before my mouth,
a guard at the door of my lips.
Let not my heart incline to the evil
of engaging in deeds of wickedness
With men who are evildoers;
and let me not partake of their dainties.
Psalm 142
With a loud voice I cry out to the Lord;
with a loud voice I beseech the Lord.
My complaint I pour out before him;
before him I lay bare my distress.
When my spirit is faint within me,
you know my path.
In the way along which I walk
they have hid a trap for me.
I look to the right to see,
but there is no one who pays me heed.
I have lost all means of escape;
there is no one who cares for my life.
I cry out to you, O Lord:
I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land
of the living.”
Attend to my cry,
for I am brought low indeed.
Rescue me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
Lead me forth from prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The just shall gather around me
when you have been good to me.

Psalm 119:105-112
A lamp to my feet is your word,
a light to my path.
I resolve and swear
to keep your just ordinances.
I am very much afflicted;
O Lord, give me life according to your word.
Accept, O Lord, the free homage of my mouth,
and teach me your decrees.
Though constantly I take my life in my hands,
yet I forget not your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but from your precepts I have not strayed.
Your decrees are my inheritance forever;
the joy of my heart they are.
I intend in my heart to fulfill you statutes
always to the letter.
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
glorify him, all you peoples!
For steadfast is his mercy toward us,
and the truth of the Lord endures for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.
Alleluia.
[SOOGHITO/HYMN]

Psalms.

HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who hears our prayers and
forgives our transgressions
He is the ocean of mercy and source of compassion,
the God of goodness to whom is due glory and honor this night, and all the days of our lives,
now and for ever.
Amen.
SEDRO
Creator of the world and ruler of all beings,
you uphold everything by your power and guide all things
in your wisdom.
You have made evening and morning,
night and day.
Lord God,
during this evening grant our souls freedom from all evil thoughts, and our bodies rest from all harmful fatigue.
Accept our vigil and receive our worship,
that your calm may reign over us, and your peace govern
our hearts.
Thus, our minds will be freed from the darkness of sin.
Be for us the Sun of justice;
illumine us with your spiritual light, Lord,
that we may not sleep amid confusion and shame,
but be awakened to labor according to your commandments.
Do not turn your ever-watchful eye from us, but guard us in
your mercy.
Lord, do not let the wolf enter into your sheepfold to devour
the sheep marked with your seal,
but protect us with your merciful right hand,
and save us from the enemy.
Keep the snares of the devil far from us,
and drive away all evil spirits.
Let no obscure thoughts fill us,
but rather grant us, asleep or awake, to persevere in what
is pleasing to you,
and to store up deeds of goodness and light for the great
and awesome Day.
Then we shall be counted among those who inherit the
heavenly

and eternal joys,
in that place of light where neither darkness nor trouble
can penetrate,
and we shall glorify you, your Father and the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever.
Amen.
QOLO
Lord,
accept the incense (our prayers) of your servants, as you accepted the incense of Moses,
and receive our petitions, as you received the prayer of Eleazar and Phinehas.
As the incense of Aaron and Levite was pleasing to you,
so may this incense (our prayer), which your worshipers
have offered to you, be acceptable in your sight.
ETRO
Lord,
receive this incense (our prayer), in which we have offered to you, and render it pleasing to your Father.
Delight us with the fragrance of your glorious perfumes.
Thus we shall rejoice in you and give glory to you, your father and your living Spirit,
now and for ever.
Amen.
READINGS
MAZMOORO
Save your people and bless your inheritance; shepherd and guide them always.
Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in
the name of our Lord our God for ever.
I heard the voice of the Prophet Jeremiah say: “Happy the man
who from his earliest youth has shouldered the yoke of
the Lord.
Scripture Reading
A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah
Isaiah 2: 1-11
This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. In days to come, The mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established as the highest mountain
and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD! You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with fortunetellers and soothsayers, like the Philistines; they covenant with strangers. Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their chariots. Their land is full of idols; they worship the works of their hands, that which their fingers have made. But man is abased, each one brought low. Do not pardon them! Get behind the rocks, hide in the dust, From the terror of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty! The haughty eyes of man will be lowered, the arrogance of men will be abased, and the LORD alone will be exalted, on that day.

SUPPLICATION
O Lord of night and Master of all time, hear our supplications and have mercy on us.
You have reconciled heaven and earth, grant peace to your
Church, and keep her children in the light of the cross.
Behold the night which spreads and covers the earth with
darkness. At night time may our prayer be a pure incense
pleasing to your majesty.
The sun has set, darkness envelops the earth. Lord, illumine the eyes of our hearts with the light. Glory be to you, O Lord.
The Virgin Mary, your Mother and the apostles. prophets and
martyrs intercede for us; O God, through their prayers,
strengthen the weak, comfort the sick, grant pardon to the
deceased and forgive the faults of us poor sinners.
Exalt, O Lord, the memory of your Mother and your saints:
through the prayers of your Mother, the prophets, apostles
and martyrs, watch over the living, and in your mercy,
forgive those who have died.
HOOTOMO
Let us confess, adore, and praise the holy and glorious Trinity: Father, Son ✛ and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who are in heaven;
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,
now and for ever.
Amen.
O Lord, the night and the day are yours;
you uphold the light and the sun.
Through your power you direct the sequence of the seasons.
O Lord,
you have brought the day to its close and called forth the night; be for us that great Day that never ends.
In the evening let your light shine in our hearts,
and in the darkness of the night
enlighten us with the knowledge of your truth.
And so, through all the days of our lives,
we shall praise you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
To you be glory and may your mercy rest upon us,
now and for ever.
Amen.
