Psalm 3

· O Lord, why are there so many who grieve me? Many rose up against me.

· Many say to myself: There is no salvation for him in his God.

· As for you, O Lord, you are my supporter, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

· With my voice I cried to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain.

· I lay down and slept, then I got up because the Lord helped me.

· I am not afraid of the countless peoples surrounding me.

· Arise, O Lord, save me, O my God, for you have struck down everyone who opposes me without a reason, and crushed the teeth of sinners.

· To the Lord is salvation, and upon your people is your blessing. I lay down and slept, then I got up because the Lord helped me.

Psalm 37

· O Lord, do not rebuke me with your anger, and do not discipline me with your anger.

· Your arrows have pierced me and are fixed on your hands.

· There is no healing for my body because of your wrath, nor peace for my bones because of my sins.

· Because my sins have risen above my head, like a heavy burden weighing down upon me.

· My wounds have stinked and become insolent because of my ignorance.

· You were miserable and bent to the extreme. The whole day I walked around frowning.

· Because my body is filled with shame, and there is no cure for my body.

· I was very miserable and humiliated, and I was groaning with the sighing of my heart.

· O Lord, all my desires are before you, and my sighs are not hidden from you.

· My heart is troubled, my strength has departed from me, and the light of my eyes also has not remained with me.

· My friends and relatives came close to me and stood opposite me, and my people of my race stood far away.

· And those who seek my life exhaust me. And those who seek evil against me speak falsehood and talk deceitfully all day long.

· As for me, I was like a deaf person who cannot hear, and like a mute person who does not open his mouth.

· You have become like a man who does not hear and does not have rebuke in his mouth.

· For I trust in You, O Lord. You answer me, O Lord my God.

· Because I said: Let not my enemies gloat over me, and when my feet slipped, they bragged about me with words.

· Because I am ready to be beaten and I have pain at all times.

· To confess my sin and beware of my sin.

· As for my enemies, they are alive and they are stronger than me, and those who hate me unjustly have increased.

· And those who rewarded me with evil in return for good, are worthy of me, because I sought righteousness.

· Do not neglect me, O Lord and my God, and do not distance yourself from me.

· Hurry to my aid, O Lord of my salvation.

Psalm sixty-two

· O God, my God, I create for you. My soul thirsts for you, and more than that my body thirsts in a land that is wild, untrodden, and waterless.

· This is how I appeared to you in Jerusalem to behold your power and glory.

· Because your mercy is better than life. My lips praise you.

· This is how I bless you for the rest of my life. And in your name I raise my hands.

So my soul will be filled with fat and fat. And with joyful lips my mouth will praise you. If I remember you in my bed, I will rave about you during dawn.

· Because you have become my helper, and under the cover of your wings I rejoice.

· My soul is attached to you from behind. And I supported your right hand.

· As for those who seek My soul in vain, they will go to the depths of the earth and be delivered into the hands of swords, and they will be rations for foxes.

· As for the king, he is pleased with God. He praises everyone who swears by him. Because the mouths of those who speak of injustice have been shut.

· I was guided by you in the early morning hours because you became my helper and with the shadow of your wings I covered myself. My soul clung to you behind you, and your right hand supported me.

Psalm eighty-seven

· O Lord, God of my salvation, day and night I cried before you.

· Let my prayer reach you, incline your ear to my request.

· My soul is filled with evil, and my life is close to hell.

· I was counted among those descending into the pit. I became like a man who had no helper, free among the dead.

· Like the wounded lying in the grave, whom you do not remember yet, and they are excluded from your hand.

They put me in a pit of the lowest of the low, in the darkness and shadow of death.

· Your anger has become intense against me, and you have repaid all your horrors against me.

· You kept my acquaintances away from me, they made me a vice to them.

· I converted to Islam, and did not flee. My eyes are weak from pain.

· I cried to you, O Lord, all day long and extended my hands to you.

· Do you perform miracles for the dead? Or do the doctors evaluate them, so they confess to you?

· Does anyone in the grave tell of your mercy, and in destruction your right?

· Do you know your wonders in the darkness and your justice in the forgotten land?

As for me, I cried out to you, O Lord, so that my prayer would reach you in the morning.

· Why, O Lord, do you alienate my soul and turn your face away from me?

· I am poor and in misery since my youth. When I was exalted, I was humbled and poor.

· Your anger has passed over me, and your terrors have disturbed me. It surrounded me like water and surrounded me all day.

· You kept my friends, relatives, and acquaintances away from me because of my misery.

· O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out before you day and night. May my prayer reach you, incline your ear to my request.

Psalm 102

· Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, His Holy Name.

· Bless, my soul, the Lord, and do not forget all his benevolences.

· He who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases.

· He who delivers your life from calamity, who crowns you with mercy and compassion.

· He who satisfies your desires with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

· The Lord makes mercy and judgment for all the oppressed.

· Moses made known his ways, and the children of Israel established his will.

· The Lord is merciful and compassionate, long-suffering and abundant in mercy. He is not always angry, nor is he forever angry.

· He did not deal with us according to our transgressions, nor did he reward us according to our sins.

· Because as high as the sky is above the earth, the Lord magnifies His mercy upon those who fear Him.

The distance of the East from the West is greater than that of our evil deeds.

· Just as a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear Him, because He knew our creation, and remembered that we are dust.

· Man is like grass in his days, and like the flower of the field so he flourishes.

· Because if the wind blows on it, it becomes non-existent, and its location is not known from afar.

· As for the mercy of the Lord, it is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him.

· And his righteousness is upon the children’s children who keep his covenant and remember his commandments to do them.

· The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

· Bless the Lord, all you angels who are mighty in strength and who do His command when you hear the voice of His words.

· Bless the Lord, all you forces, and you servants who do His will.

· Bless the Lord, all his works, in every subject of his sovereignty. Bless, my soul, the Lord.

· In every subject of his sovereignty. Bless, my soul, the Lord.

Psalm 142

· O Lord, listen to my prayer, and listen in your truth to my request. Answer me with your justice.

· Do not enter into judgment with your servant, because he will not be clean before you alive.

Because the enemy has persecuted my soul. And I will humiliate my life on earth.

· And make me sit in darkness like the dead of eternity. So my spirit became weary within me, and my heart was troubled within me.

· I remembered the days of old, and marveled at all your deeds, and meditated on the works of your hands.

· I extended my hands to you, and my soul to you is like a land that does not rain.

· Hurry and answer me, O Lord. I lost my soul.

· Do not turn your face away from me, for I will be like those who go down into the pit.

· Make me listen to your mercy in the morning, for I put my trust in you.

· Make known to me, O Lord, the path in which I should walk, for to You I have lifted up my soul.

· Save me from my enemies, O Lord, for I have turned to You. Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God.

· Your good spirit guides me to a straight land. For your name's sake, O Lord, revive me.

· With your justice, you remove my soul from sadness. By your mercy, you eradicate my enemies.

· And all those who grieve my soul will be destroyed, because I am your servant.

Answer me with your justice. And do not enter into judgment with your servant.twice)

Your good spirit guides me to a straight land

The Priest: An honorable chapter from the Gospel of Saint Matthew the Evangelist and the Pure Disciple (21:18-43)

Chorus: Glory be to you, O Lord, glory be to you.

The priest: Let's listen.

At that time, while Jesus was returning to the city, he was hungry. He saw a fig tree on the road, so we went to it and found only leaves on it. And he said to her, “Let it not be fruitful of you forever.” And the fig tree withered immediately. When the disciples saw this, they marveled and said, “How did the fig tree wither from that moment?” Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, do not only do the thing about the fig tree, but if you also say to this mountain, ‘I will move and go down into the sea,’ it will happen.” And all What you ask for in prayer with faith you will receive. * And when he came to the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him while he was teaching, saying, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you this authority?” Then Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you about one word, and if you say it to me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.” * Where was John’s baptism from? Was it from heaven or from people? So they thought within themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ And if we say, ‘From people,’ then we are afraid of the crowd, because John was like a prophet to everyone.” So they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.” What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, “Son, I will go and work in my vineyard today.” He replied, “I do not want to.” But finally he regretted it and went. He went to the second and said the same to him. He answered and said, “I will go, Master.” And he did not go. Who of the two did the father’s will? They told him the first. Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.” For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And you saw that and did not regret it in the end to believe in it. * Listen to another example. A man, a householder, planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and gave it to his workmen, and went on a journey. And when the time for fruit drew near, he sent servants to the workmen that they might take its fruit. And the workmen took his servants, and they flogged some, and killed some, and stoned others. So he sent other servants, more numerous than the first, and they did likewise to them. And in the end. He sent his son to them, saying, “They will fear my son.” When the scholar saw the son, they said among themselves, “This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.” So they seized him, cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When the master of the vineyard comes, what will he do with those who work with them? And they said to him, “He will destroy those who are evil with the worst destruction, and hand over the vineyard to his workers.” Others bring him fruit in due season. * Then Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures that the stone that the builders rejected became the head of the corner? This was done by the Lord, and it is amazing in our eyes. * Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation that produces its fruits.

ChorusGlory be to you, Lord, glory be to you.

Psalm 50

· Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy, and according to your abundant compassion, blot out my transgressions.

· Wash me frequently from my iniquity and purify 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 what is evil in your sight. So that you may be true to your words and prevail in your trial.

· 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 secrets of your wisdom.

· Sprinkle me with hyssop and I will be clean. You wash me and I become whiter than snow.

· You hear me rejoicing and glad, 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 presidential spirit.

So teach the transgressors your ways, and the unbelievers will return to you.

· Save me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation, so that my tongue may rejoice in your justice.

· O Lord, open my lips, so that my mouth may declare your praise.

· Because if you had preferred the sacrifice, you would have offered it. But you do not delight in burnt offerings.

· The sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit. A humble and humble heart will not be rejected by God.

· Restore, O Lord, at your pleasure Zion, and build the walls of Jerusalem.

· Then you will be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, an offering and burnt offerings.

· Then they will offer calves on your altar.

Then he chants the next law

The first valleys (with the second melody)

- Arms -

Let us praise the Lord, who, by His divine command, dried up the unmoving, turbulent sea, and led the Israelite people into it, because in glory they were glorified.

Glory be to you our Lord, Glory be to you!

The condescension of the Word of God is indescribable. I mean Christ, who himself is a God and a man who thought that his being a god was an embezzled fortune, as he was depicted in the form of a servant and he showed that to the disciples, because through glory he was glorified.

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Now and at all times, and forever and ever, Amen.

I, the Creator, who is rich in divinity, have come to serve poor Adam, whose image I wore by choice, and I lay down my life as a ransom for him, who is incapable of suffering in divinity.

Then the arms are returned

Let us praise the Lord, who, by His divine command, dried up the unmoving, turbulent sea, and led the Israelite people into it, because in glory they were glorified.

Chorus: Amen

Al-Qandaq

When Jacob was mourning the loss of Joseph, that brave man was sitting on a chariot and honored as a king, because since he did not then worship the Egyptian God, he was glorified instead by God, who sees the hearts of people and gives them incorruptible crowns.

the house

Let us now add lamentation to lamentation, and shed tears, wailing with Jacob over Joseph, the chaste and happy man, who in body was enslaved, but who preserved his soul from enslavement, and ruled over all of Egypt, because God gives his servants incorruptible crowns.

Synaxarium

On the Great and Holy Monday, we commemorate the blessed and all-good Joseph with the fig tree that was cursed by the Lord and withered.

The righteous and chaste Joseph appeared as king of Egypt and distributed wheat from his treasuries, what an abundance of Sunni bounties.

Christ likened the assembly of the Hebrew nation to Tinna, since it had become completely devoid of spiritual fruits, and He treated it with a curse. Let us escape from what befell it of such calamity. Through the intercessions of Joseph, the All-Blessed, O Christ God, have mercy on us, Amen.

Chorus:

The eighth valley (with the second tune)

-Arms-

The fire, nourished by countless substance, trembled, fleeing from the contentment of the souls of the pure youth and their bodies innocent of corruption, and when its ever-growing rage subsided, they shouted and shouted, Praise the Lord, all you works of the Lord, and exalt him to all ages.

Glory be to you our Lord, Glory be to you

The Savior, as he was going to suffer, said to his loved ones, “If you keep my commandments, then everyone will know that you are my disciples. So be at peace with one another and with all, and be humble in your resolve so that you may rise up, and know that I am the Lord, and praise me and exalt me to all ages.”
