Psalm 142

Doamne Auzi Rugaciunea Mea

O Lord,/ hear my prayer; /give ear /unto my supplication/ in Your

truth; /hear me /in Your righteousness /and enter not/ into
judgment/ with Your servant,/ for before You/ shall not /any man/
be justified. /For the enemy/ has persecuted my soul:/ he has
humbled my life /to the earth. /He has made me dwell/ in darkness
/like dead men of old;/ and suffering within me/ is my spirit, /and
within me /my heart/ is troubled. /I remembered /the days of old,/
and I meditated /on all Your works,/ I mused [miuz]/ on the
creations of Your hands./ I stretched forth /my hands to You;/ my
soul /like a waterless land/ thirsts /for You. /Quickly hear me, /O
Lord; /my spirit/ has fainted away; /turn not /Your face /from me
/lest I be like them /that go down /into the pit./ Cause me to know,/O
Lord, /the way /wherein /I should walk, /for /to You/ have I lifted up
/ my soul. /Rescue me /from my enemies, /O Lord;/ to You for
refuge/ have I fled-, /teach me/ to do Your Will,/ for You /are my God;
Your good Spirit /shall guide me /in the land of uprightness. [ap,rait-
nas] For Your Name's sake, /O Lord,/ shall You quicken me?/ In Your
righteousness /shall/ You lead /forth my soul /out of tribulation,[tri-
biu’lei-shan]/ and /in Your mercy /shall you destroy/ my enemies;

2
/and You /shall cut off /all them /that afflict my soul, /for I /am Your
servant.

We then sing. Tone 4

God/ is the Lord, /and He has become /manifest/ unto us;/ blessed
is He/ who comes/ in the Name of the Lord.

Give thanks to the Lord /and call /upon His Name.

God/ is the Lord,/ and He has become/ manifest unto us; /blessed is
He/ who comes /in the Name of the Lord.

All the nations /encompassed [en-kam-pas] me, /and/ in the name

To you,/ O Theotokos, /we sinners /now flee. /In repentance /we
bow down /before you, /saying: /"O Sovereign Lady,/ help us:/ have
compassion on us, /make haste[heist] to help,/ for we perish in the

Never, /O Theotokos,/will we, /unworthy,/ cease/ to proclaim your

you,/ O Lady, /for you /save your servants/ from all malicious

Psalm 50

Miluieste-ma Dumnezeule…

Have mercy on me,/ O God, /according to Your great mercy: /and

according to/ the multitude /of Your compassions/ blot [bl`ot] out
/my transgressions./ Wash me /thoroughly/ of my wickedness,/ 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 done this evil
/in Your sight, /that You/ might be justified/ in Your words,/ and
victor/[vik-tor] when You are Judge. /For behold/ I was shaped/ in
iniquity,/ and /in sin /did my mother /conceive me. /For behold /You

4
love truth;/ the unclear /and secret lore /of Your wisdom/ have You
made clear to me. /You shall sprinkle me /with hyssop,/[hi-sop] and
I/ shall be clean;/ You shall wash me, /and I shall be whiter/ than
snow. /For You/ shall make me hear /of joy/ and gladness: /the
bones, /which were humbled, /shall rejoice. /Turn away/ Your face
from my sins, /and blot out /all my iniquities.

Create in me,/ O God,/ a clean heart,/ and renew/ a right spirit

/within me. /Cast me /not away/ from Your presence,/ and take not
/Your Holy Spirit /from me./ Restore to me/ the joy of Your
salvation,/ and with a guiding Spirit /establish me./ I will teach
transgressors/ Your ways,/ and the ungodly/ shall turn back to You./
Deliver me /from blood -guiltiness,/ O God,/You that are the God /of
my salvation: /O Lord, /You shall open up my lips, /and my mouth
shall show forth/ Your praise. /For /if You had desired sacrifice,/ I
would have given it;/ with holocausts [ho-lo-kost] /shall You not be
pleased,/ a sacrifice for God /is a broken spirit,/ a heart /that is
broken and humbled/ God will not despise/. Do good, O Lord, /in
Your pleasure unto Zion: /rebuild the walls of Jerusalem; /then /shall
You be pleased/ with a Sacrifice of Righteousness,/ with Oblations
and Holocausts; /then shall they lay /young bullocks/ upon Your
altar.

Then is chanted the following verse:

All-Holy Theotokos, /guard,/ protect /and keep your servants.

Paul to the Hebrews. (Heb. 2:11-18)

Priest: Let us attend.

Reader: Brethren,/ he/ who sanctifies/ and those/ who are

call them brethren, /saying: /"I will proclaim your name /to my
brethren,/ in the midst/of the congregation/ I will praise you./ And
again:/ "I will put my trust/ in him." /And again: /"Here am I,/ and
the children /God has given me." /Since therefore /the children/
share in flesh and blood, /he himself likewise/ partook of the same
nature, /that through death /he might destroy him /who has the
power of death,/ that is, the devil, /and deliver all those /who through
fear of death/ were subject/ to lifelong bondage. /For surely/ it is not
with angels/ that he is concerned /but with the descendants/ of
Abraham. Therefore /he had to be made/ like his brethren /in every
respect,/ so/ that he might become/ a merciful/ and faithful high
priest/ in the service of God, /to make expiation[expieision] for the
sins /of the people./ For /because he/ himself/ has suffered and been

Through the prayers /of our holy Fathers,/ Lord Jesus Christ, /our
God,/ have mercy on us /and save us.

People: Amen.
