.the Hymn Remember, O Creator Lord!
Antiphon: We run.

Psalm 122
To You have I Lifted up my eyes, Who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants, are on the hands of their masters,
As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes to the Lord our God, until; He have mercy on us.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 123
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: If it had not been that the Lord was with us,
When men rose up against us, perhaps they had swallowed us up alive.
When their fury was enkindled against us, perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Our soul has passed through water insupportable.
Blessed be the Lord, Who has been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.
The snare is broken, and we are delivered. Our help is in the Name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 124
They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion: he shall not be moved forever that dwells in Jerusalem.
Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth now and forever.
For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
Glory be the Father, etc.
Antiphon: We run to the fragrance of Your ointments: the young maidens have loved You exceedingly.

O god, Who wast pleased that Your Word should take flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, and didst make it known to her by the message of an Angel; grant that we, Your supplicants, who truly believe her to be the Mother of God, may through her intercession, find help with You .
