Psalm 50
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy, and according to your abundance of compassion, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgression, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done evil in your sight, so that your words may be confirmed and you may prevail in your judgment. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins my mother bore me. Because you loved the truth, and you made clear to me the mysteries and hidden things of your wisdom. You shall sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be clean; you shall wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. You hear me joy and joy, and my afflicted bones 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 from before your face, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me. Grant me the joy of your salvation, and support me with a guiding spirit. Teach transgressors your ways, and the unbelievers will return to you. Save me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, so that my tongue may rejoice in your justice. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For if you had preferred sacrifice, you would now have given, but you do not delight in burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit. A humble and humble heart is not rejected by God. O Lord, repair Zion at your pleasure, and build the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with the just sacrifice, the offering and burnt offerings. Then they will offer calves on your altar.
Psalm sixty-nine
O God, listen to my help, O Lord, hasten to my relief. Let those who seek my soul be ashamed and confounded; let them turn back and confound those who seek evil against me. May the treasurers of those who say good to me count grace, and let all who seek you, O God, rejoice and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation say at all times, “May God be magnified.” As for me, I am poor and needy. Oh God, help me. You are my helper and my savior, O Lord, so do not delay.
Psalm 142
O Lord, hear my prayer, and listen to my request with your truth, answer me with your justice. Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for not every living person will be pure before you. For the enemy has persecuted my soul and has brought my life down to the ground. And He made me sit in darkness like those who had been dead for ages, and He made my spirit weary and my heart within me troubled. I remembered the old days, marveled at all your deeds, and contemplated the works of your hands. I extended my hand to you, and my soul to you is like a land that does not rain. Hurry and answer me, O Lord, for my spirit is exhausted. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. Make me listen to your mercy in the morning, for I trust in you. Make me know, O Lord, the path in which I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. Save me from my enemies, O Lord, for I have sought refuge in You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your good spirit guides me in a straight land, for the sake of your name, O Lord, you revive me. With your justice, you bring my soul out of sorrow, and with your mercy, you uproot my enemies. And all who grieve my soul will perish, for I am your servant.

O Lord King, Heavenly God, Father Almighty, O Lord, the only Son, Jesus Christ, and O Holy Spirit. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, You who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us, You who take away the sins of the world. Accept our supplication, O you who sit at the right hand of the Father, and have mercy on us. Because you alone are holy, you alone are the Lord Jesus Christ, in the glory of God the Father, Amen. Every day I bless you, and I praise your name forever and ever. O Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation. I said, O Lord, have mercy on me and heal my soul, for I have sinned against you. O Lord, I seek refuge in You, so teach me to do Your will, because You are my God. Because before you it is about life, and in your light we see the light. Simplest mercy on those who know you. O Lord, grant us the ability to be preserved on this night without sin. Blessed are you, O Lord God of our fathers, and praise and glorify your name forever, Amen. May your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, just as we rely on you. Blessed are you, Lord, teach me your commandments. Blessed are you, Master, make me understand your rights. Blessed are you, O Holy One, enlighten me with your justice. O Lord, your mercy endures forever, and do not neglect the works of your hands. To You is due praise and praise, to You is due glory, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and at all times, and to the ages of ages, Amen.
Then we say:
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, of all things seen and unseen, and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us humans, and for our salvation, came down from heaven and was incarnated by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. He was crucified for us during the reign of Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried. And he rose on the third day according to what was in the books. He ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of the Father. And he will come with glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom has no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father, who is worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son, who spoke through the prophets. The Church of the one holy apostolic University. And confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead, and life in the coming age, Amen.

“في ذلك الزمان عقد رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ على يسوع مشورة ليهلكوه، فأتوا الى بيلاطس قائلين أصلبه أصلبه. فقال لهم بيلاطس خذوه أنتم وأصلبوه، فإني لا أجد فيه علة، أجابه اليهود إن لنا ناموساً وبحسب ناموسنا يجب أن يموت لأنه جعل نفسه أبن الله. فلما سمع بيلاطس هذا الكلام أزداد خوفاً ودخل أيضا الى دار الولاية وقال ليسوع من أين أنت. فلم يردّ يسوع عليه جواباً. فقال له بيلاطس ألا تكلمني. أما تعلم أن لي سلطاناً أن أصلبك ولي سلطاناً أن اطلقك. فأجاب يسوع ما كان لك علي من سلطان لو لم يعط لك من فوق. فلما سمع بيلاطس هذا الكلام أخرج يسوع ثم جلس على كرسي القضاء في موضع يقال له ليشتروتن وبالعبرانية جبتا. وكانت تهيئة الفصح وكان نح الساعة التاسعة. فقال لليهود هوذا ملككم، أما هم فصرخوا أرفعه أرفعه أصلبه. فقال لهم بيلاطس أأصلب ملككم. فأجاب رؤساء الكهنة ليس لنا ملك غير قيصر. حينئذ أسلمه إليهم للصلب. فأخذوا يسوع ومضوا به فخرج وهو حامل صليبه الى الموضع المسمى الجمجمة وبالعبرانية يسمى الجلجثة حيث صلبوه وأخرين معم من هنا ومن هنا ويسوع في الوسط وكتب بيلاطس عنواناً ووضعه على الصليبوكان المكتوب فيه يسوع الناصري ملك اليهود وهذا العنوان قراءة كثيرون من اليهود لأن الموضع الذي صلب فيه يسوع كان قريبا من المدينة وكان مكتوبا بالعبرانية واليونانية والرومانية وكانت واقفة عند صليب يسوع أمه وأخت أمه مريم التي لكلاوبا ومريم المجدلية. فلما رأى يسوع أمه والتلميذ الذي كان هو يحبه واقفا قال لأمه يا أمراة هوذا أبنك ثم قال للتلميذ هوذا أمك ومن تلك الساعة أخذها التلميذ الى خاصته وبعد هذا رأى يسوع أن كل شئ قد تم فأمال رأسه وأسلم الروح ثم أذ كان يوم التهيئة فلئلا تبقى الأجساد على الصليب في السبت لأن يوم ذلك السبت كان عظيماً، سأل اليهود بيلاطس أن تكسر سوقهم ويذهب بهم، فجاء الجند وكسروا ساقي الأول والأخر الذي صلب معه. وأما يسوع فلما أنتهوا إليه ورأوه قد مات لم يكسروا ساقيه لكن واحد من الجند طعن جنبه بحربة فخرج للوقت دم وماء والذي عاين شهد وشهادة حق”.
