The chants used for reciting psalms are a balance of speech and song.

     The last verse of the Psalm is usually followed by the Lesser Doxology 
("Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.  Sicut erat in principio, et 
nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum, Amen.").

     In the chant books, the closing words of the Doxology are indicated by 
the vowels e u o u a e below the last notes of the music.

     ...et in saecula saEcUlOrUm, AmEn.  ("...world without end, Amen.")
