Psalm 113.

Alleluia.

1 When Israel came out from Egypt, to the house of Jacob a barbarian people, 2 Judah became His holiness, Israel His province. 3 The sea has seen and flown, the Jordan has returned, 4 the mountains leap up like rams, and the hills like lambs. 5 What is it, O sea, that you have run away? And to you, Jordan, how did you come back? 6 Are the mountains leaping like rams, and the hills like sheep? 7 At the presence of the Lord the earth moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, and the unmovable into springs of water. 9 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to Your name, give glory to Your mercy and Your truth. 10 Let not the heathen cry, Where is their God? 11 But our God has done in heaven and on earth whatever He wills. 12 The idols of the tongue are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 13 They are tired and do not speak, they have eyes and do not see, 14 they have ears and do not hear, they have nostrils and do not smell, 15 they have hands and do not touch, they have no nose and do not walk, they do not shout. with your larynx. 16 Let those who do things, and all those who trust in her, be like them. 17 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: they have a Helper and a Protector. 18 The house of Aaron trusted in the Lord: he is their Helper and Protector. 19 Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord: they have a Helper and a Protector. 20 The Lord remembered us and blessed us to eat; He blessed the house of Israel to eat; He blessed the house of Aaron to eat; 21 He blessed those who fear the Lord to eat, the small ones with the great ones. 22 May the Lord deal with you, with you and with your sons. 23 Bless you to the Lord, who created heaven and earth. 24 Heaven is the heaven of the Lord, and the earth is given to the sons of man. 25 The dead will not praise You, O Lord, nor will all those who go down to hell, 26 but we who are alive will bless the Lord from now on and forever.

Psalm 114.

Alleluia.

1 I love that the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer, 2 that He incline His ear to me, and in my days I will call. 3 Mortal diseases came upon me, the troubles of hell came upon me, sorrow and sickness came upon me, and I called on the name of the Lord: 4 O Lord, deliver my soul. The Lord is merciful and righteous, and our God has mercy. 5 The Lord protect the children: humble yourself and save me. 6 Turn, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord is good to you. 7 For they will take away my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my nose from creeping. 8 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

Glory:

Psalm 115.

Let me confess to You that You heard me, and You were my salvation. 29 Confess to the Lord that He is good, for His mercy endures forever.

Glory:

According to the 16th kathisma, the Trisagion of Our Father: Also troparia, tone 1:

Peace awaits you, my soul, and the Judge wants to reprove your secret and fierce. Do not remain among those here, but precede the Judges crying: God, cleanse me and save me.

Glory: For I am afflicted with many sins and immeasurable wounds, O Savior, I pray to Thy compassion for sin, O Christ: visit the physician of the sick, and heal and save me.

And now: My soul, why are you living carelessly, being lazy? Why are you not concerned about the evil ones you have done in your life? Trying to correct yourself first, even the Lord will not shut the door for you. Mother of God, priests, fall down and cry: Hope of the hopeless, save me, who have sinned many things against You, Most Pure Lady.

Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:

Holy Lord, living in the Highest, and with Your all-seeing eye look upon all creation, We bow to You, soul and body, and we pray to You, Holy of Holies: stretch out Your hand, invisible from the Holy One Thy dwelling place, and bless us all, and forgive us every sin, voluntary and involuntary, in word or deed. Grant us, Lord, tenderness, grant spiritual tears from the soul, for the cleansing of many of our sins, grant Your great mercy to Your world and to us, Your unworthy servants. For blessed and glorified is Your name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages, amen.

Alleluia, 113

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, to the house of Jacob a barbarian people, 2 Judah became his holiness, Israel his province. 3 The sea is seen and runs away, the Jordan is returned, 4 the mountains leap up like rams, and the hills like lambs of a sheep. 5 What is it, O sea, that you have run away? And to you, Jordan, how did you come back? 6 Are the mountains leaping like rams, and the hills like sheep? 7 At the presence of the Lord the earth moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, and the unbroken river into springs of water. 9 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to Your name, give glory to Your mercy and Your truth. 10 Let not the heathen cry, Where is their God? 11 But our God has done in heaven and on earth whatever He wills. 12 The idols of the tongue are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 13 They are tired and do not speak, they have eyes and do not see, 14 they have ears and do not hear, they have nostrils and do not smell, 15 they have hands and do not touch, they have no nose and do not walk, they do not shout. with your larynx. 16 Be like them, so that 6 those who create me, and all who trust in her, may pass away. 17 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: they have a Helper and a Protector. 18 The house of Aaron trusted in the Lord: he is their Helper and Protector. 19 Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord: they have a Helper and a Protector. 20 The Lord remembered us and blessed us to eat; He blessed the house of Israel to eat; He blessed the house of Aaron to eat; 21 He blessed those who fear the Lord to eat, the small ones with the great ones. 22 May the Lord apply it to you, to you and to your sons. 23 Bless you to the Lord, who created heaven and earth. 24 Heaven is the heaven of the Lord, and the earth is given to the sons of man. 25 The dead will not praise You, O Lord, nor will all those who go down to hell, 26 but we who are alive will bless the Lord from now on and forever.

Psalm of David. [Alleluia.] 1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a foreign people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His possession. 3 The sea saw it and ran; Jordan turned back. 4 The mountains leapt like rams, and the hills like lambs. 5 What is the matter with you, O sea, that you fled, and, O Jordan, that you turned back? 6 Why do you leap, you mountains, like rams, and you hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble at the presence of the Lord, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 who turns the rock into a lake of water and the stone into a spring of water. 9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your mercy, for the sake of Your truth. 10 Why should the Gentiles say, “Where is their God?” 11 Our God is in heaven [and on earth]; does whatever he wants. 12 And their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 13 They have lips, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; 14 They have ears, but they do not hear; They have nostrils, but they do not smell; 15 They have hands, but they cannot touch; They have legs, but they don’t walk; and they do not utter a voice with their throat. 16 Let those who make them and all who trust in them be like them. 17 [House] of Israel! trust in the Lord: He is our help and shield. 18 House of Aaron! trust in the Lord: He is our help and shield. 19 You who fear the Lord! Trust in the Lord: He is our help and shield. 20 The Lord remembers us, blesses [us], blesses the house of Israel, blesses the house of Aaron; 21 He blesses those who fear the Lord, both small and great. 22 May the Lord give you more and more, you and your children. 23 Blessed are you by the Lord, who created the heavens and the earth. 24 The heaven is the heaven of the Lord, and the earth he has given to the sons of men. 25 Neither the dead will praise the Lord, nor all those who go down to the grave; 26 But we [the living] will bless the Lord from now on and forever. Hallelujah.

my days. 3 Mortal diseases have seized me, the torments of hell have befallen me; I encountered cramped conditions and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: Lord! deliver my soul. 5 The Lord is gracious and just and our God is merciful. 6 The Lord protects the simple: I was weak, and He helped me. 7 Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has prospered you. 8 You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
