"Come, let us worship our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and God."

Psalm 53: "O God, save me in Thy name, and judge me by Thy power. O God, hear my prayer, hearken unto the words of my mouth: for strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men seek my soul; they have no God before them. Behold, God is my Helper; The Lord strengthens my soul. He will repay the evil of my enemies; destroy them in Thy truth. I will earnestly offer Thee a sacrifice, I will glorify Thy name, O Lord, for it is good. For Thou hast delivered me from all troubles, and my eye has looked upon my enemies."

Psalm 54: "Hear, O God, my prayer, and hide not from my supplication; hearken unto me, and hear me; I groan in my sorrow, and am troubled at the voice of the enemy, at the oppression of the wicked, for they bring iniquity against me, and in wrath they enmity against me. My heart trembles within me, and mortal terrors have come upon me; Fear and trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. And I said, Who would give me wings like a dove? I would fly away and calm down; I would have gone far away and remained in the wilderness; I would hasten to take shelter from the whirlwind, from the storm. Stir up, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I see violence and strife in the city; day and night they walk around its walls; wickedness and calamity are in the midst of it. In the midst of it is destruction; deceit and deceit do not leave its streets. For it is not the enemy who reproaches me, but I would endure; it is not my hater who exalts himself over me, from whom I would hide myself; but you, who were to me the same as I am my friend and my near, with whom we shared sincere conversations and went together to the house of God. May death come upon them; let them descend alive into hell, for wickedness is within their gates, in their midst. But I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me. In the evening, and in the morning, and at noon, I will beseech and cry out, and he will hear my voice, and deliver my soul peaceably from those who rise up against me, for I have many of them. God will hear them, and He who lives from eternity will humble them, because there is no change in them; they do not fear God, they have stretched out their hands against those who are at peace with them, they have broken their covenant; Their lips are softer than oil, but in their hearts there is enmity; their words are more tender than oil, but they are drawn swords. Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to waver. You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of perdition; The bloodthirsty and treacherous will not live to see half of their days. And I trust in You, Lord."

Psalm 90: "He who lives under the shelter of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, rests. He says to the Lord: "My refuge and my defense, my God, in Whom I trust." He will deliver you from the snare of the fisher, from the deadly plague; with His feathers He will overshadow you, and under His wings you will be safe; His shield and hedge are His truth. Thou shalt not fear terrors in the night; an arrow flying during the day; the plague that walks in the darkness; a contagion that destroys at noon. A thousand and ten thousand will fall beside you on your right, but they will not come near you; only shalt thou look with thine eyes, and see the vengeance of the wicked. For you said, "The Lord is my hope." Thou hast chosen the Most High for thy refuge; evil shall not come to thee, and the plague shall not come nigh to thy habitation: for he shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways; they shall bear thee in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone; thou shalt tread on the adder and the basilisk; you will trample on the lion and the dragon. "Because he loved me, I will deliver him; I will defend him, because he has known my name. He shall call unto me, and I will hear him; with him I am in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with the length of days, and I will show him my salvation."

Glory even now. "Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to Thee, O God" (three times). "Lord, have mercy" (three times). Glory: Troparion of the Day. On the Forty Days and when "Hallelujah" is sung, troparion with verses, ch. 2. "On the sixth day and hour, Thou Who nailed to the cross the insolent sin of Adam committed in Paradise, tear the handwriting of our sins, O Christ God, and save us." Verse: 1., Hear, O God, my prayer, and do not hide from my prayer." 2. "But I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me" (Psalm 54:17). And now, (Theotokos): "Not having boldness because of the multitude of our sins, we beseech Thee, O Virgin Mother of God, to pray to the Christ born of Thee, for the prayer of the Mother to the Merciful Lord is powerful: do not despise sinful prayers, O All-Pure One, for He, Who suffered for our sake, is Merciful and Able to save. Soon let Thy mercies precede us, O Lord, for we are greatly exhausted. Help us, O God our Saviour, for the glory of Thy name; deliver us, and forgive us our sins for Thy name's sake" (Psalm 78:8-9).,, Holy God.." after the "Our Father..." Kontakion of a feast or saint. And in Lent the troparia, ch. 2. "Thou, O Christ God, hast accomplished salvation in the midst of the world, stretching out Thy Most-Pure hands on the cross, gathering together all the nations, crying out: 'Lord, glory to Thee.' Glory: "We worship Thy most pure image, O Good Christ God, asking forgiveness of our sins, for Thou didst deign to voluntarily ascend the cross in the flesh, in order to deliver those created by Thee from slavery to the enemy. For this we exclaim to Thee with gratitude: "Our Saviour, Thou Who hast come to save the world, hast filled all things with joy." And now – on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: (Theotokos), "O Theotokos, inexhaustible source of love and mercy! Grant us Thy Mercy, condescend to sinners; manifest Thy power, as always. Trusting in Thee alone, we call upon Thee: "Rejoice," as Gabriel, the chief of the bodiless powers, once cried. And now, on Wednesday and Friday (Cross Theotokos, ch. 2), "We sing praises to Thee, O Most Glorified Virgin Mother of God, for by the cross of Thy Son hell has been overthrown, death has been slain, we, the slain, have risen, have been vouchsafed life, and have restored paradise – the former delight. Therefore, we gratefully glorify Christ Almighty, our God and the only Most Merciful."

"Lord, have mercy" (40 times). "At all times..." Page. 387. "Lord, have mercy" (three times). Glory even now. More honorable than the cherubim..." "In the name of the Lord, bless, father." Priest: "Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, have mercy on us." During Lent, the prayer of Ephraim the Syrian with prostrations. Cmpj88.

The prayer of St. St. Basil the Great: "O God and Lord of bodiless hosts, and Creator of all creation, Who hast sent down Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for the salvation of our race, Who by His much-revered Cross hast torn the record of our sins, and by Him hast conquered the rulers and rulers of darkness! Thou Thyself, O Lord Lover of mankind, accept from us, ^sinners, these prayers of thanksgiving and supplication, and deliver us from every pernicious and gloomy sin, as well as from all visible and invisible enemies who seek to do us harm. Nail our flesh to fear Thee, and do not allow our hearts to deviate to evil speech or thoughts. But kindle in our souls love for Thee, so that, constantly directing our eyes to Thee and guided by the light emanating from Thee, striving to know Thee, the eternal Light is more inaccessible than ever, they may unceasingly send glory and thanksgiving to Thee, the Eternal Father, with Thy Only-begotten Son and Thy All-Holy, Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen."

NINTH HOUR.

"Come, let us worship our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and God."

Psalm 83: "How desirable are Thy dwellings, O Lord of hosts! My soul is weary, longing for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh delight in the Living God. And the bird finds for itself a dwelling, and a swallow a nest for itself, where to lay its young, at Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God! Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will praise Thee continually. Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee, and whose paths are directed to Thee in his heart. Passing through the valley of weeping, they open springs in it, and the rain covers it with blessing; they come from strength to strength, they appear before God in Zion. O Lord, God of hosts! Hear my prayer; hearken, O God of Jacob! O God, our defender, bow down and look upon the face of Thy anointed. For one day in Thy courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be at the threshold in the house of God than live in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is the sun and the shield, the Lord gives grace and glory; He does not deprive those who walk in chastity of blessings. Lord of hosts! Blessed is the man who trusts in You."

Psalm 84: "Lord, Thou hast had compassion on Thy land, Thou hast restored the captivity of Jacob; I have forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, I have covered all their sins, I have restrained all Thy wrath, I have turned away the fierceness of Thy wrath. Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cease Thy indignation against us. Wilt Thou be angry with us forever, Thou wilt extend Thy wrath from generation to generation? Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy and grant us Thy salvation. I will listen to what the Lord God says. He will say peace to His people and to His elect, but let them not fall into folly again. His salvation is so close to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth will meet, truth and peace will kiss each other; truth will spring up from the earth, and righteousness will come down from heaven, and the Lord will give good, and our land will give its fruit; righteousness shall go before Him, and shall set his feet in the way."
