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)

Second Kathasma (with fourth tune)

O Savior, the priests and scribes gathered against you a council of counsel that deviated from the law out of intense envy, and they moved Judas to surrender, so he went out insolently and spoke to the peoples who passed the law against you, saying: What will you give me, since I will deliver him into your hands?

The priest: Let's listen.

At that time, the Pharisees consulted against Jesus to catch him with a word. So they sent their disciples and the Herodians to him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you are honest and teach the way of God in truth, and you do not care about anyone and do not look at people’s faces. So tell us what you think. Is it permissible to give tribute to Caesar or not?” So he learned. Jesus made them evil and said, “Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the criticism of the transaction.” So they brought him a denarius. Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this and the inscription?” And they said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Repay, therefore, to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And when they heard it, they marveled and left him and left. On that day, the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him, saying, “Teacher, Moses said, If someone dies and has no children, let his brother marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. And we had seven brothers, the first of whom married a woman and died and had no offspring, so he left his wife to his brother. And so did the second and third up to the seventh. And at the end of all, the woman died. So in the resurrection, who of the seven will it be a woman because they all took her? * Then Jesus answered and said to them, You have gone astray because you have not known the Scriptures nor the power of God. * For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. * But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, who says, “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?” And God is not the God of the dead, but He is the God of the living. * When the crowds heard, they were astonished at his teaching. * And when the Pharisees heard that he had slandered the Sadducees, they gathered together. * Then one of them asked him, a lawyer, testing him and saying, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart.” And with all your soul and with all your mind * This is the first and greatest commandment * And the second, which is like it, is: Love your neighbor as yourself * On these two commandments hang the whole law and the prophets * And while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They said to him, “Son of David.” So he said to them, “How then can David call him in the spirit his Lord?” He says, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.’” And if David called him “Lord,” how can he be his son? To ask him at all * Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, “On the throne of Moses sit the scribes and Pharisees. * So whatever they tell you to observe, observe it and do it, but do not do as they do. For they say, but do not do; For they bind heavy burdens that are laborious to carry, and place them on people's shoulders, and they are not willing to move them with one of their fingers. And all their deeds they do to show off before people, displaying their veils and flaunting the fringes of their garments. And they love the first seats at dinner, and the top seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces, and for people to call them teachers. My teacher * As for you, do not call on me, teacher. For one is your ruler, who is Christ, and you are all brothers. * And do not call upon your father on earth, for your Father is one in heaven. * And do not call any rulers, for there is one who governs you, who is Christ, and the greatest among you will be your servant. * Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. * Woe to you, scribes. And the Pharisees, the hypocrites, for you shut up the kingdom of heaven in the faces of men, so that you do not enter in, nor do you let those who enter in. And because of this you will receive a greater judgment * Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you roam sea and land to bring in one intruder. And if that happens, you will become the Son of Hell, double what you are. * Woe to you, you blind leaders who say, “Whoever swears by the temple is nothing, and whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he will demand.” You ignorant and blind people, which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? * O ignorant and blind people, what is greater, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering? * Whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it * And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who lives in it * And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it * Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law, which are justice, mercy, and faith. And you ought to have done these things and not left out those things. For you purify the outside of the cup and the bowl, but the inside of them is full of adultery and debauchery. * O blind Pharisee, purify first the inside of the cup and the bowl, so that the outside of them may be cleansed as well. * Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are like plastered tombs that appear beautiful to people from the outside, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness. Likewise, you appear to people as righteous on the outside, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and unrighteousness. * Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the righteous, and say, “If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have shared with them the blood of the prophets.” For you bear witness against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets. So gather up the measure of your fathers * O serpents, brood of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell * For this reason, behold, I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, so that all the innocent blood shed on the earth may come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. Verily I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how many times have I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

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.
