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

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Now and at all times and forever and ever, Amen.

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

The priest: Let's listen.

At that time, the crowd who were with Jesus when he called Lazarus from the grave and raised him from the dead bore witness to him. * And for this reason, the crowd received him because they heard that he had performed this miracle. * Then the Pharisees said among themselves, “Do you see that you are of no use? Behold, the world has followed him * And some Greeks were among those who came up to worship on the day of the feast * And they came to Philip, who were from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we want to see Jesus * Then Philip came and said to Andrew, and Andrew and Philip said to Jesus * And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come. So that the Son of Man may be glorified * Verily, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone * And if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves himself will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. * If anyone serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be. And if anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. * Now my soul is troubled, what should I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this reason I have come to this hour. * Father, glorify your name. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd that was standing and listening said, “It was only thunder.” Others said, “An angel spoke to him.” Jesus answered: It was not for my sake that this voice was made, but for your sakes * the judgment of this world has come. Now the prince of this world will be cast out * And when I was lifted up from the earth, I drew them all to myself (but he said this to indicate what death he was about to die) * The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that Christ will last forever.” How then do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer.” Walk as long as you have light, lest darkness overtake you. Because he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. * As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of the light. * Jesus spoke this and then went and hid from them. * And he had performed many such miracles before them, but they did not believe in him. * That the words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which he said, O Lord, who It is true what has been heard from us and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed. And for this reason they could not believe. For Isaiah also said: He blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their heart and turn, and I heal them. This said Isaiah when he saw his glory and spoke of him. And with that, many princes also They believed in him, but for the sake of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they be put out of the synagogue. For they loved the glory of men rather than the glory of God. Then Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me but in him who sent me. And whoever has seen me has seen him who sent me. I am a light who has come into the world so that all Whoever believes in me will not remain in darkness. * And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my sayings has someone to judge him. The words that I spoke will judge him on the last day. * For I did not speak on my own authority, but the Father who sent me gave me the commandment about what I should say and what I should utter. * And I know that his commandment is eternal life. And what I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.

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

Chorus:

The third valley (with the second melody)

- Arms -

You have established me on the rock of faith, and you have enlarged my mouth against my enemies, because my soul rejoiced when it chanted: There is none as holy as our God, and there is none as just as You, O Lord.

Glory be to you our Lord, Glory be to you

The council that deviates from the law is invalid, and it was formed with a bad determination to show you under the guilt, O Christ, the Savior, to whom we chant: You are our God and there is no one holy except you, O Lord.

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

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

The council of the transgressors of the bad law, since their souls are bad at war against God, have conspired to kill the righteous Christ as the one who is devoid of goodness to whom we chant: You are our God and there is no one holy except you, O Lord.

Then the arms are returned

You have established me on the rock of faith, and you have enlarged my mouth against my enemies, because my soul rejoiced when it chanted: There is none as holy as our God, and there is none as just as You, O Lord.

Chorus: Amen

Al-Qandaq

I have sinned against you, O righteous one, more than the adulteress, and I have never brought a flood of tears to you, but in silence and stillness I kneel before you, asking and kissing your pure feet with longing for you to grant me, O Savior, since you are the Lord, to erase my sins, crying out: Save me from the mire of my deeds.

the house

The woman who was previously immoral suddenly appeared chaste and abhorred the ugly acts of sin and the pleasures of the flesh, thinking of the abundance of shame and condemnation of the punishments that the adulterers and ungodly people will suffer, of which I am the first. I am terrified of this, but in my bad habits I am ignorant. As for the adulterous woman, she fled in fear and ran quickly and came calling to the Savior: O lover of mankind, save me from the mire of my deeds.

Synaxarium

On the great and holy Wednesday, the fathers, inspired by God, imposed that we commemorate the adulterous woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, because this happened before the Passion, with partial evidence.

When the adulterous woman approached Christ and showered his fragrant body, she first applied the myrrh with which Nicodemus embalmed him on the day of his terrible burial.

But, O Christ, God, anointed with goodness of mind, free us from many sufferings and have mercy on us, since You alone are holy and love humanity. Amen.

Who will examine the multitude of my sins and the depths of your judgments? O my Savior, my soul's savior, do not turn away from me, I am your servant, O you who have innumerable mercy.
