Evening Prayer (Vespers) Tutorial
Some books will show a “psalm-prayer” immediately following the psalm. However, this does not appear to be the intended order of LOTH.

Rather, after the Doxology (“Glory to the Father...”), repeat the antiphon for the first psalm a final time, then pray the psalm-prayer.
