Uspensky N.D., prof. - Orthodox Vespers

MY HELP IS FROM GOD, WHO SAVES THE RIGHTEOUS IN HEART

Alleluia.

LET US WORSHIP THE LORD ACCORDING TO HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND SING THE NAME OF THE LORD TO THE HIGHEST.

Alleluia.

O LORD OUR LORD, HOW WONDERFUL IS THY NAME IN ALL THE EARTH

Alleluia.

The same verse [152].

As can be seen, this kathisma did not differ in the manner of its performance from the psalms-antiphons of the hymned vespers. Its only difference was that after the "glory" there were no small litanies, as was customary at the hymn of vespers after each psalm-antiphon.

The lamp psalms were sung in exactly the same way. The following verses were not sung in their entirety, but were sung antiphonally with special refrains:
