The priest censes towards the four sides of the altar in form of a cross starting from the east, west, north and then south, and says

Houses of prayer, houses of purity, houses of blessing: grant them unto us, O Lord, and Thy servants who shall come after us forever.

The worship of idols, utterly uproot from the world.

O Lord, bring them all to no avail. Disperse their counsel, O God, Who dispersed the counsel of Ahithophel.

The priest censes three times towards the east of the altar and says

Arise, O Lord God. Let all Thine enemies be scattered, and let all that Thine Holy Name flee before Thy face.

The priest looks towards the west, offers incense to the priests, deacons and congregation, and says

But let Thy people be in blessing: thousands of thousands, and ten thousand time ten thousands, doing Thy will.

Peklaoc demaref]wpi 'en pi`cmou> `e\anan]o `n]o nem \an`qba `n`qba eu`iri `mpekouw].

Then the priest looks towards the east, offers incense three times towards the east and says

By the grace …
