RUBRIC: But on other days, except for Sundays, after the *Surb Astuac* [Holy God / Trisagion] and the *kʿaroz* [litany], this PSALM is said in Tone Plagal II (Bk):

PSALM 77 [112]. Praise the Lord, O servants [of the Lord], and praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from this time forth and forevermore. From the rising of the sun unto its setting, praised is the name of the Lord. High above all nations is the Lord, and his glory is in the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, and looketh upon the lowly in heaven and on earth? He raiseth up the poor from the earth, and lifteth up the afflicted from the dung-heap.
