PSALM 86: 1-7, 11-13, 16

Keep my life, for I am devoted to you;

You are my God; have pity on me, O Lord,

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

0067
With men who are evildoers;
and let me not partake of their dainties.

Psalm 142
With aloud 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.

0068
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 forever
.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

Alleluia.

PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who hears our prayers
ànd 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 evening, and all the days of our lives,
now and forever.
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 forever.
Amen.

QOLO
Lord, accept the incense (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 the Levite was pleasing to you,
so may this incense (our prayers), which your worshipers
have offered to you, be acceptable in your sight.
ETRO
Lord,
receive this incense (our prayer) 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 forever.

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 the Lord our God forever.
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 READINGS
A Reading from the Book of Sirach
Sirach 19: 7-20;1
Tell nothing to friend or foe; if you have a fault, reveal it not, For he who hears it will hold it against you, and in time become your enemy. Let anything you hear die within you; be assured it will not make you burst. When a fool hears something, he is in labor, like a woman giving birth to a child. Like an arrow lodged in a man’s thigh is gossip in the breast of a fool. Admonish your friend-he may not have done it; and if he did, that he may not do it again. Admonish your neighbor-he may not have said it; and if he did, that he may not say it again. Admonish your friend-often it may be slander; every story you must not believe.
Then, too, a man can slip and not mean it; who has not sinned with his tongue? Admonish your neighbor before you break with him; thus will you fulfill the law of the Most High. All wisdom is fear of the LORD; perfect wisdom is the fulfillment of the law. The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, nor is there prudence in the counsel of sinners. There is a shrewdness that is detestable, while the simple man may be free from sin. There are those with little understanding who fear God, and those of great intelligence who violate the law.
There is a shrewdness keen but dishonest, which by duplicity wins a judgment.

0573
There is the wicked man who is bowed in grief, but is full of guile within; He bows his head and feigns not to hear, but when not observed, he will take advantage of you: Even though his lack of strength keeps him from sinning, when he finds the opportunity, he will do harm. One can tell a man by his appearance; a wise man is known as such when first met. A man’s attire, his hearty laughter and his gait, proclaim him for what he is. An admonition can be inopportune, and a man may be wise to hold his peace.

0071
SUPPLICATION
O Lord of night, and Master of all time,hear our supplication and have mercy on us.
You reconciled heaven and earth, grant peace to your
Church and keep her children in the light of the cross.
Behold, that 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 envelopes the earth. Lord, illumine the eyes of our hearts with your 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 their prayers grant pardon to us and our deceased.
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.

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 forever.
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 forever.
Amen.

this day which has passed in calm and peace.

God and the Church in thought, word, deed, or omission.

Glory be to you, O Lord.

0073
God,
Father in heaven,
by your living and holy name,

and through the prayers of N., Pope, of Rome ., our Patriarch, and N., our Bishop,
