3 STICHOLOGIA Psalms S et a guard, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door a - bout my lips. D o not in-cline my heart to e - vil words; to make ex - cus - es for my sins. W ith those who work in - iq - ui- ty, let me not u - nite with their e -lect. T he just will chas - tise me w/ mer - cy and re - prove me but let not the oil of sin-ners an-noint my head. F or yet my pray r shall be in their plea - sures; their judg- es

4 have been swal-low d up by the rock. T hey will hear my words for they are sweet. As a clod of earth is crush d up-on the ground, their bones have been scat-ter d at the mouth of Hell. F or my eyes look to you, O Lord, my Lord. I have hoped in you, do not take a -way my soul. K eep me from the snare that they have hid - - den for me, and from the traps of ev - il - do - ers. T he sin- ners will fall in - to their own net. I am a - lone un - til I pass by.

5 W ith my voice I cried_ to the Lord. With my voice I en - treat-ed the Lord. I will pour out my en - treat - y be - fore him and tell him all my trou - ble. W hen my spi - rit was faint, you knew my path. I n the way where I walk d they had hid - den a snare for me. I look d to my right hand and saw, but there was none who knew me. E s - cape is gone from me, and there is none who seeks for my soul. I cried to you, Lord, I said, You are my hope; my

6 por - tion in the land of the liv - - ing. G ive heed to my sup - pli - ca - tion, for I am brought ver - y low. D e - liv - er me from those who per - se - cute me, for they are too strong for me. E xa ga ge ek fu la khj thn yh chn mv tou ex o mo lo gh sa sqai tw o no ma ti sou.

7 T he just will a - wait me un -til you re - ward_ me. I f a man takes re - fuge from the tem-pest in this safe har -bor of true re-pen-tance, will he not be sav d? If in his a - go - ny he kneels down be - fore this house of heal-ing, will he then not be cured? O Sov - reign ma - ker of all things and good Phy - si - cian of the sick, save me be-fore I ut - ter -ly per-ish, O lov- ing Lord. E k ba qe wn e ke kra xa soi Ku ri e Ku ri e ei sa kv son thj fw nhj mou

8 L et your ears be at - ten - tive to the voice of my sup - pli - ca - tion. I am but a sheep of your spi - ri - tual flock, and to you I flee for re-fuge, O Good Shep-herd I have gone a - stray, O Stichera of the Triodion God: seek me and have mer - cy up - on me.

9 F or your name s sake I have wait - ed for you, O Lord. my soul has wait - ed on your word. My soul has hoped in the Lord. W hen I think of my works, de-serv - ing ev - ry pun - - ish - ment, I de - spair of my - self, O Lord. For see, I have de-spised your pre - cious com-mand -

10 ments and wasted my life as the Pro di gal. There-fore I en - treat you: cleanse me in the wa - ters of re - pen tance, and through pray r and fast - - ing make me shine with light, for you a - lone are mer ci ful; ab - hor me not, O Be - ne - fac - - tor of all, su - preme in love.

21 T o you I lift up my eyes, to you who are en - thron d in the heavens. As the eyes of ser - vants look to the hand of their mas - ter, or as the eyes of a maid look t ward the hand of her mis - tress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, un - til he show us his mer - - cy. Y our grace has shone forth, O Lord, it has shone forth and giv - en light, giv - en light to our souls. Be - hold, now is the ac - cep ted time: be-hold now is the sea - - son of re - - pen tance.

22 Let us cast off the works of dark - - ness and put on the ar - - mor of light, that hav - ing sail d ac-cross the great sea of the Fast, we may reach the third day res - ur - rec tion of our Lord Je - - sus Christ_ the Sav - ior of our souls.
