How magnified are Your works, O , ,
Lord! In wisdom You have made them ,
all; the earth is filled with Your .
creation.
So is this great and spacious sea,

There go the ships; there this dragon ,

All things wait on You, to give them ,

When You turn away Your face, they ,

To You, O Lord.

Priest
O Lord our God, Who bowed the
heavens, and Who came down for the
salvation of the human race, look upon
Your servants and upon Your inheritance.
For Your servants have bowed their heads,
and they have bent their necks to You, the
fearsome Judge Who loves mankind; they
do not expect help from men, but they await
Your mercy, and look for Your expected
salvation; protect them at all times, during
both the present evening and the coming
night, from every enemy, from every
opposing work of the devil, and from vain
thoughts and evil memories.
