Κύριε, τὰ χείλη µου ἀνοίξεις, καὶ τὸ στόµα µου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου. Psalm 3 Ψαλµὸς Γ Lord, why are those who afflict me multiplied? Many rise up against me. Many say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But You, Lord, are my Helper, my Glory, and the One who lifts up my head. Κύριε τὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ θλίβοντές µε; πολλοὶ ἐπανίστανται ἐπ' ἐµὲ. Πολλοὶ λέγουσι τῇ ψυχῇ µου οὐκ ἔστι σωτηρία αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ. Σὺ δὲ Κύριε ἀντιλήπτωρ µου εἶ δόξα µου καὶ ὑψῶν τὴν κεφαλήν µου. I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He Φωνῇ µου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα καὶ heard me out of His holy mountain. ἐπήκουσέ µου ἐξ ὄρους ἁγίου αὐτοῦ. 3

4 I laid down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord will help me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that set themselves round about against me. Rise, Lord; save me, my God; for You have struck down all who without cause are my enemies; You have broken the teeth of sinners. Salvation is of the Lord, and Your blessing is on Your people. (And Again) I laid down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord will help me. Psalm 37 Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chasten me in Your wrath! For Your arrows are fastened in me, and You have laid Your hand heavily upon me There is no healing in my flesh in the face of Your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones in the face of my sins. For my iniquities have risen higher than my head; they have pressed heavily on me as a heavy burden. My wounds have become foul and festering in the face of my foolishness. I have been wretched and utterly bowed down until the end; I went all the day long with downcast face. For my loins are filled with inflammation, and there is no healing in my flesh. I am afflicted and exceedingly humbled, I have groaned from the turmoil of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before You, and my groaning is not hidden from You. My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of my eyes, even this is not with me. Ἐγὼ ἐκοιµήθην καὶ ὕπνωσα, ἐξηγέρθην ὅτι Κύριος ἀντιλήψεταί µου. Οὐ φοβηθήσοµαι ἀπὸ µυριάδων λαοῦ τῶν κύκλῳ συνεπιτιθεµένων µοι. Ἀνάστα Κύριε σῶσόν µε ὁ Θεός µου ὅτι σὺ ἐπαταξας πάντας τοὺς ἐχθραίνοντάς µοι µαταίως, ὀδόντας ἁµαρτωλῶν συνέτριψας. Τοῦ Κυρίου ἡ σωτηρία καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου ἡ εὐλογία σου. (Καὶ πάλιν ) Ἐγὼ ἐκοιµήθην καὶ ὕπνωσα ἐξηγέρθην ὅτι Κύριος ἀντιλήψεταί µου. Ψαλµὸς ΛΖ Κύριε µὴ τῷ θυµῷ σου ἐλέγξῃσ, µε µηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς µε. Ὅτι τὰ βέλη σου ἐνεπάγησάν µοι καὶ ἐπεστήριξας ἐπ' ἐµὲ τὴν χεῖρά σου. Οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί µου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆσ ὀργῆς σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη ἐν τοῖσ ὀστέοις µου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁµαρτιῶν µου. Ὅτι αἱ ἀνοµίαι µου ὑπερῆραν τὴν κεφαλήν µου, ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπ' ἐµὲ. Προσώζεσαν καὶ ἐσάπησαν οἱ µώλωπές µου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆσ ἀφροσύνης µου. Ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάµφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡµέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόµην. Ὅτι αἱ ψόαι µου ἐπλήσθησαν ἐµπαιγµῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί µου. Ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα ὠρυόµην ἀπὸ στεναγµοῦ τῆς καρδίας µου. Κύριε ἐναντίον σου πᾶσα ἡ ἐπιθυµία µου καὶ ὁ στεναγµός µου ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐκ ἀπεκρύβη. Ἡ καρδία µου ἐταράχθη, ἐγκατέλιπέ µε ἡ ἰσχύς µου καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλµῶν µου καὶ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστι µετ' ἐµοῦ. My friends and my neighbors drew near over Οἱ φίλοι µου καὶ οἱ πλησίον µου ἐξ ἐναντίας against me and stood, and my nearest of kin µου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά µου stood afar off. ἀπὸ µακρόθεν ἔστησαν. 4

5 And those who sought after my soul used violence; and those who sought evils for me spoke vain things, and they meditated deception all the day long. But as for me, like a deaf man I did not hear them, and I was as a speechless man who does not open his mouth. And I became as a man that does not hear, and that has no reproofs in his mouth. For I have hoped in You, Lord; You will hear me, Lord my God. For I said: Let my enemies never rejoice over me; indeed, when my feet were shaken, those men spoke boastful words against me. For I am ready for scourges, and my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare my iniquity, and I will anguish concerning my sin. But my enemies live and are made stronger than I, and those who hated me unjustly are multiplied. Those who render me evil for good slandered me, because I pursued goodness. Do not forsake me, Lord my God, do not depart from me. Be attentive to my help, Lord of my salvation. (And Again) Do not forsake me, Lord my God, do not depart from me. Be attentive to my help, Lord of my salvation. Psalm 62 O God, my God, to You I rise early at dawn. My soul has thirsted for You; how often has my flesh longed after You in a land barren and untrodden and unwatered. So I have appeared before You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. For Your mercy is better than lives; my lips shall praise You. Καὶ ἐξεβιάζοντο οἱ ζητοῦντεσ τὴν ψυχήν µου καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά µοι, καὶ ἐλάλησαν µαταιότητασ καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡµέραν ἐµελέτησαν. Ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόµα αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐγενόµην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωποσ οὐκ ἀκούων καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόµατι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγµοὺς. Ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ Κύριε ἤλπισα, σὺ εἰσακούσῃ Κύριε ὁ Θεός µου. Ὅτι εἶπον µήποτε ἐπιχαρῶσί µοι οἱ ἐχθροί µου καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας µου ἐπ' ἐµὲ ἐµεγαλορρηµόνησαν. Ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς µάστιγας ἕτοιµος καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών µου ἐνώπιόν µού ἐστι διὰ παντὸς. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνοµίαν µου ἐγὼ ἀναγγελῶ καὶ µεριµνήσω ὑπὲρ τῆσ ἁµαρτίας µου. Οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί µου ζῶσι καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐµὲ καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ µισοῦντές µε ἀδίκως. Οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες µοι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐνδιέβαλλόν µε ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον δικαιοσύνην. Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς µε Κύριε ὁ Θεός µου, µὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ' ἐµοῦ. Πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν µου Κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας µου. (Καὶ πάλιν ) Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς µε Κύριε ὁ Θεός µου, µὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ' ἐµοῦ. Πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν µου Κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας µου. Ψαλµὸς ΞΒ Ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεός µου πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω. Ἐδίψησέ σε ἡ ψυχή µου, ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ µου ἐν γῇ ἐρήµῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ. Οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναµίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου. Ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωὰς τὰ χείλη µου ἐπαινέσουσί σε. So shall I bless You in my life, and I will lift Οὕτως εὐλογήσω σὲ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ µου καὶ ἐν τῷ up my hands in Your name. ὀνόµατί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς µου. 5

6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with lips of rejoicing. If I remembered You on my bed, I meditated on You at the dawn. For You have become my Helper; I will rejoice in the shelter of Your wings. My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has been quick to help me. But as for those who in vain have sought after my soul, they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth, they shall be surrendered to the edge of the sword, they shall be portions for foxes. But the king shall be glad in God; everyone shall be praised that swears by Him; for the mouth of those who speak unjust things is stopped. (And Again) At the dawn I meditated on You; For You have become my Helper; in the shelter of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has been quick to help me. Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to You, O God. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Psalm 87 Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried by day and by night before You. Let my prayer come before You, bow down Your ear to my supplication. For my soul is filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hades. Ὡς ἐκ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐµπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή µου καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόµα µου. Εἰ ἐµνηµόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωµνῆς µου ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐµελέτων εἰς σὲ. Ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός µου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσοµαι. Ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή µου ὀπίσω σου ἐµοῦ δὲ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου. Αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς µάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν µου, εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥοµφαίας µερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ, ἐπαινεθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀµνύων ἐν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόµα λαλούντων ἄδικα. (Καὶ πάλιν ) Ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐµελέτων εἰς σὲ ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός µου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσοµαι. Ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή µου ὀπίσω σου, ἐµοῦ δὲ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου. Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύµατι, καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀλληλούϊα, Ἀλληλούϊα, Ἀλληλούϊα, Δόξα σοι ὁ Θεὸς Κύριε, ἐλέησον. Κύριε, ἐλέησον. Κύριε, ἐλέησον. Ψαλµὸς ΠΖ Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύµατι, καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας µου ἡµέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου. Εἰσελθέτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή µου, κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν µου. Ὅτι ἐπλήσθη κακῶν ἡ ψυχή µου καὶ ἡ ζωή µου τῷ ᾅδῃ ἤγγισε. I am counted with those who go down into the Προσελογίσθην µετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς pit; I have become as a man without help, free λάκκον, ἐγενήθην ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀβοήθητος ἐν among the dead. νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος. 6

7 I am like the bodies of the slain that sleep in the grave, Whom You remember no more, and who are cut off from Your hand. They laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness and the shadow of death. Your anger lies heavily on me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. You have removed my friends far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves. I have been delivered up, and have not come forth; my eyes have grown weak from poverty. I have cried to You, Lord, the whole day long; I have stretched out my hands to You. No, will You work wonders for the dead? Or shall physicians raise them up that they may give thanks to You? No, shall any in the grave tell of Your mercy, and of Your truth in that destruction? No, shall Your wonders be known in that darkness, and Your righteousness in that land that is forgotten? But as for me, I have cried to You, Lord; and in the morning my prayer shall come before You. Lord, why do You therefore cast off my soul and turn Your face away from me? I am as a poor man, and in troubles from my youth; indeed, having been exalted, I was humbled and brought to distress. Your fierce wrath has gone over me, and Your terrors have sorely troubled me. They came around me all day long like water, they engulfed me altogether. Because of my misery You have removed friend and neighbor and my acquaintances far from me. (And Again) Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and by night before You. Ὡσεὶ τραυµατίαι καθεύδοντες ἐν τάφῳ ὧν οὐκ ἐµνήσθης ἔτι καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἀπώσθησαν. Ἔθεντό µε ἐν λάκκῳ κατωτάτῳ, ἐν σκοτεινοῖς καὶ ἐν σκιᾷ θανάτου. Ἐπ' ἐµὲ ἐπεστηρίχθη ὁ θυµός σου καὶ πάντας τοὺς µετεωρισµούς σου ἐπήγαγες ἐπ' ἐµὲ. Ἐµάκρυνας τοὺς γνωστούς µου ἀπ' ἐµοῦ, ἔθεντό µε βδέλυγµα ἑαυτόῖς. Παρεδόθην καὶ οὐκ ἐξεπορευόµην οἱ ὀφθαλµοί µου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ πτωχείας. Ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σὲ Κύριε ὅλην τὴν ἡµέραν διεπέτασα πρὸς σὲ τὰς χεῖράς µου. Μὴ τοῖς νεκροῖς ποιήσεις θαυµάσια ἢ ἰατροὶ ἀναστήσουσι καὶ ἐξοµολογήσονταί σοι; Μὴ διηγήσεταί τις ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ; Μὴ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τῷ σκότει τὰ θαυµάσιά σου καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ἐν γῇ ἐπιλελησµένῃ; Κἀγὼ πρὸς σὲ Κύριε ἐκέκραξα καὶ τὸ πρωῒ ἡ προσευχή µου προφθάσει σε Ἵνα τὶ Κύριε ἀπωθεῖς τὴν ψυχήν µου, ἀποστρέφεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ' ἐµοῦ; Πτωχός εἰµι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐν κόποις ἐκ νεότητός µου, ὑψωθεὶς δὲ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐξηπορήθην. Ἐπ' ἐµὲ διῆλθον αἱ ὀργαί σου, οἱ φοβερισµοί σου ἐξετάραξάν µε. Ἐκύκλωσάν µε ὡσεὶ ὕδωρ, ὅλην τὴν ἡµέραν περιέσχον µε ἅµα. Ἐµάκρυνας ἀπ' ἐµοῦ φίλον καὶ πλησίον καὶ τοὺς γνωστούς µου ἀπὸ ταλαιπωρίας. (Καὶ πάλιν ) Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας µου ἡµέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου. Let my prayer come before You, bow down Εἰσελθέτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή µου Your ear to my supplication! κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν µου. 7

8 Psalm 102 Bless the Lord, my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all that He has done for you. Who is gracious to all your iniquities, Who heals all your infirmities. Who redeems your life from corruption, Who crowns you with mercy and compassion. Who fulfills your desire with good things; your youth shall be renewed as the eagle s. The Lord does deeds of mercy, and executes judgment for all those who are wronged. He has made His ways known to Moses, the things that He has willed to the sons of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and merciful, long suffering and plenteous in mercy; He will not be angered to the end, neither will He be angry to eternity. He has not dealt with us according to our iniquities, neither has He rewarded us according to our sins. For according to the height of heaven from the earth, so has the Lord made His mercy to prevail over those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our iniquities from us. Like a father has compassion on his sons, so has the Lord had compassion on those who fear Him; for He knows of what we are made, He has remembered that we are dust. As for man, his days are as the grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he blossom forth. For when the wind passes over it, then it shall be gone, and its place will no longer remember it. But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, even to eternity, on those who fear Him. And His righteousness is on sons of sons, on those who keep His testament and remember to do His commandments. αὐτάς. 8 Ψαλµὸς ΡΒ Εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή µου, τὸν Κύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐντός µου τὸ ὄνοµα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ. Εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή µου, τὸν Κύριον, καὶ µὴ ἐπιλανθάνου πάσας τὰς ἀνταποδόσεις αὐτοῦ. Τὸν εὐϊλατεύοντα πάσας τὰς ἀνοµίας σου, τὸν ἰώµενον πάσας τὰς νόσους σου. Τὸν λυτρούµενον ἐκ φθορᾶς τὴν ζωήν σου, τὸν στεφανοῦντά σε ἐν ἐλέει καὶ οἰκτιρµοῖς. Τὸν ἐµπιπλῶντα ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὴν ἐπιθυµίαν σου, ἀνακαινισθήσεται ὡς ἀετοῦ ἡ νεότης σου. Ποιῶν ἐλεηµοσύνας ὁ Κύριος, καὶ κρῖµα πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδικουµένοις. Ἐγνώρισε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τῷ Μωϋσῇ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ τὰ θελήµατα αὐτοῦ. Οἰκτίρµων καὶ ἐλεήµων ὁ Κύριος, µακρόθυµος καὶ πολυέλεος, οὐκ εἰς τέλος ὀργισθήσεται, οὐδὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα µηνιεῖ. Οὐ κατὰ τὰς ἀνοµίας ἡµῶν ἐποίησεν ἡµῖν, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰς ἁµαρτίας ἡµῶν ἀνταπέδωκεν ἡµῖν. Ὅτι κατὰ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἐκραταίωσε Κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουµένους αὐτόν. Καθόσον ἀπέχουσιν ἀνατολαὶ ἀπὸ δυσµῶν, ἐµάκρυνεν ἀφ ἡµῶν τὰς ἀνοµίας ἡµῶν. Καθὼς οἰκτείρει πατὴρ υἱούς, ᾠκτείρησε Κύριος τοὺς φοβουµένους αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἔγνω τὸ πλάσµα ἡµῶν, ἐµνήσθη ὅτι χοῦς ἐσµεν. Ἄνθρωπος, ὡσεὶ χόρτος αἱ ἡµέραι αὐτοῦ, ὡσεὶ ἄνθος τοῦ ἀγροῦ, οὕτως ἐξανθήσει. Ὅτι πνεῦµα διῆλθεν ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνώσεται ἔτι τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ. Τὸ δὲ ἔλεος τοῦ Κυρίου ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουµένους αὐτόν. Καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ υἱοῖς υἱῶν, τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ, καὶ µεµνηµένοις τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι

9 The Lord in heaven has prepared His throne, and His kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, all you His Angels, mighty in strength, that perform His word, to hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, His ministers that do His will. Bless the Lord, all you His works, in every place of His dominion; bless the Lord, my soul. (And Again) Bless the Lord, all you His works, in every place of His dominion; bless the Lord, my soul. Psalm 142 Lord, hear my prayer, in Your truth give ear to my supplications; hear me in Your righteousness. And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no man living shall be justified. For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has humbled my life down to the earth. He has sat me in darkness as those who have been long dead, and my spirit within me has become despondent; my heart within me is troubled. I remembered days of old, I meditated on all Your works, I pondered on the creations of Your hands. I stretched forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a waterless land. Quickly hear me, Lord; my spirit has fainted away. Do not turn Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Your mercy in the morning; for I have put my hope in You. Cause me to know, Lord, the way in which I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to You. 9 Κύριος ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἡτοίµασε τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ πάντων δεσπόζει. Εὐλογεῖτε τὸν Κύριον, πάντες οἱ Ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ, δυνατοὶ ἰσχύϊ, ποιοῦντες τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ.

Ἐκάθισέ µε ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος καὶ ἠκηδίασεν ἐπ' ἐµὲ τὸ πνεῦµά µου ἐν ἐµοὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία µου. Ἐµνήσθην ἡµερῶν ἀρχαίων, ἐµελέτησα ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου, ἐν ποιήµασι τῶν χειρῶν σου ἐµελέτων. Διεπέτασα πρὸς σὲ τὰς χεῖράς µου, ἡ ψυχή µου ὡς γῆ ἄνυδρός σοι. Ταχὺ εἰσάκουσόν µου Κύριε ἐξέλιπε τὸ πνεῦµά µου. Μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ' ἐµοῦ καὶ ὁµοιωθήσοµαι τοῖς καταβαίνουσιν εἰς λάκκον Ἀκουστὸν ποίησόν µοι τὸ πρωῒ τὸ ἔλεός σου ὅτι ἐπὶ σοι ἤλπισα. Γνώρισόν µοι Κύριε ὁδὸν ἐν ᾗ πορεύσοµαι ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν µου.

Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger; do not chasten me in Your wrath. In the valley of lamentation, in the place You have appointed, when You shall sit, O merciful Lord, to execute just judgment, do not publish my secret sins; do not condemn me before the Angels; but spare me, O God, and have mercy on me. Theotokion Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. With all our heart and with never-silent mouths, let us praise the most-glorious Mother of God, more holy than the holy Angels. Let us confess her as Theotokos, for in very truth she gave birth to God made flesh, and without ceasing she prays for our souls.

28 After the First Stichologia Compunctionate Kathismata Grave Tone Monday Since repentance will cure You from all sickness, O my soul, draw near with tears and sighing to this house of healing, and cry to the Physician of our souls and bodies: Free me from my sins, O Lord who loves mankind, and number me with the harlot, the thief and the Publican; grant me, O God, the forgiveness of my trespasses and save me. Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger; do not chasten me in Your wrath. I have not emulated the repentance of the Publican; I have not gained the tears of the harlot. In my blindness I cannot understand how to amend my life as they did. But in Your compassion, O God, save me, for You love mankind. Theotokion Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. All-holy Virgin, You are greater in honor than the glorious Cherubim. Unable to endure the divine splendor, they veil their faces with their wings as they perform their ministry; but you gaze with your own eyes upon the incarnate Word. Without ceasing, intercede with Him for our souls.

29 After the First Stichologia Compunctionate Kathismata Tone Plagal 4 Monday Look, O Lord, with a compassionate eye upon my lowliness, for my life is soon spent and there is no salvation for me in my deeds; thus I cry out: Look, O Lord, with a compassionate eye upon my lowliness and save me. Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger; do not chasten me in Your wrath. Be full of anxious fear, O my soul, as though standing in the presence of the judge, and call to mind that dreadful day and hour; merciful shall be the judgment for those that showed no mercy. Therefore spare me, O Savior, for You alone love mankind. Theotokion Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Most pure Theotokos, spiritual gateway of our life, with faith we run to you: deliver us from danger, that we may glorify your holy childbearing for the salvation of our souls.

30 After the Second Stichologia Tone 2 Let us acquire compunction of soul as Godgiven first-fruits of the fast, crying out: O Master Christ, accept our prayer as pure incense, and deliver us, we entreat You, from the stench of corruption and from fearful torment, for You alone are ready to forgive. Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. You are a fountain of compassion, O Theotokos, count us worthy of your compassion; look upon your people who have sinned, and now, as always, manifest your power; for, putting our trust in you, we cry out to you: Rejoice!, as once did Gabriel, the chief captain of the heavenly hosts. After the Third Stichologia Tone 2 Let us joyfully begin the all-holy season of abstinence; and let us shine with the bright radiance of the holy commandments of Christ our God, with the brightness of love and the splendor of prayer, with the purity of holiness and the strength of good courage. Thus, clothed in raiment of light, let us hasten to the holy Resurrection on the third day, that shines upon the world with the glory of eternal life. Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Having obtained in my distress your unconquerable intercession, O Mother of our God, I am set free wondrously and past all hope from everything that troubles me. For you are always swift to help those who ask of you in faith, and you dispel the darkness of their many sins. Therefore, with thanksgiving we cry unto you: Accept, O Lady, this small offering of grateful praise, and be my help in all things. 30 Μετὰ τὴν β Στιχολογίαν Ἦχος β' Τῆς Νηστείας τῇ θείᾳ ἀπαρχῇ, κατάνυξιν κτησώµεθα ψυχῆς, ἐκβοῶντες Δέσποτα Χριστέ, τὴν προσευχὴν ἡµῶν δέξαι, ἐκλεκτὸν ὥσπερ θυµίαµα, καὶ ῥῦσαι δεόµεθα δυσώδους φθορᾶς ἡµᾶς, καὶ κολάσεως φρικτῆς, ὁ µόνος ὑπάρχων εὐδιάλλακτος.

31 great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against You only have I sinned, and have done evil in Your sight, that You may be justified in Your words, and be victorious when You are judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold, You have loved the truth; the hidden and secret things of Your wisdom You have made manifest to me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that are humbled shall rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore the joy of Your salvation to me, and establish me with Your governing Spirit. I shall teach transgressors Your ways, and the impious shall turn back to You. Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Your righteousness. O Lord, You shall open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise. For if You had desired sacrifice, I would have given it; with whole-burnt offerings You shall not be pleased. 31 καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρµῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόµηµά µου.

32 that is broken and humbled God will not reject. Do good, O Lord, in Your good pleasure to Sion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then You shall be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then they shall offer young bulls upon Your altar. Prayer O God, save Your people Deacon O God, save Your people and bless Your inheritance; look upon Your world with mercy and compassion; raise the horn of Orthodox Christians, and send down upon us Your rich mercies: through the intercessions of our all-pure Lady, the Theotokos and ever-virgin Mary; by the power of the precious and life-giving Cross; through the protection of the honorable, heavenly bodiless powers; by the supplications of the honorable, glorious, prophet, forerunner, and baptist John; of the holy, glorious, all-praiseworthy, and chief Apostles Peter and Paul, as well as all the holy Apostles; of our holy fathers among the saints, the great hierarchs and ecumenical teachers, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom; of Athanasios, Cyril, and John the Merciful, patriarchs of Alexandria; of Nicholas of Myra, Spyridon the Bishop of Trimythous, Dionysios the Archbishop of Aegina from Zakynthos, and Nektarios of Pentapolis, the wonder workers; of the holy, glorious, great martyrs, George the trophy bearer, Demetrios the myrrh flowing, Theodore the recruit, Theodore the general, and Menas the wonder worker; of the hieromartyrs Ignatios, Polykarp, Haralambos, Eleutherios, and Kosmas Aitolos; of the holy, glorious, great women martyrs Thekla, Barbara, Anastasia, Katherine, Kyriake, Fotini, Marina, Paraskevi, and Irene; of the holy, glorious, and victorious martyrs; of our righteous and God-bearing fathers who were illumined in 32 καρδίαν συντετριµµένην καὶ τεταπεινωµένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει.

34 Who would not wonder at all that they endured?
