PSALMS OF THE MIDDAY [HOUR] [*Čašow sałmoskʿ*]

[RUBRIC:] According to the proper of the day: The Midday [*Čašu*] Psalm which is said during the Fifty Days of Easter [*Yinankʿ*], beginning from Chapter 1. Say three verses [*pʿox*], so that until the Coming of the Holy Spirit the 150 chapters of the Psalm[s] of David may be completed. And at the end of every verse [*pʿox*], say three *Alēluia*s. THE FIFTY DAYS OF EASTER [*YINANKʿ*]

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel [of the ungodly]. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Why have the nations raged, and the peoples plotted in vain? Alleluia. Lord, how my persecutors have multiplied, and many have risen up against me. Alleluia.

[OF THE] ASCENSION. (PSALM 67 [LXX 67/MT 68] • CHAPTER 46 [LXX 46/MT 47]:)

God has ascended with a shout of blessing, and our Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Clap your hands, all [you] nations; shout to God with the voice of exultation.
