Prayers before the reading of the Psalter

Let it be reasonable, as befits an individual to sing the Psalter

If a priest says:

Blessed be our God, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

If not, say with tenderness:

Through the prayers of our holy fathers. Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen. Heavenly King. The Trisagion. And according to the Lord's Prayer:

These troparia, tone 6:

Have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us, for we are perplexed by every answer, we offer this prayer to Thee, as the Lord of sin: have mercy on us.

Glory:

The honorable triumph of Thy prophet, O Lord, the Church of Heaven is shown, the angels rejoice with men. By his prayers, O Christ God, rule our life in peace, that we may sing Thee: Alleluia.

And now:

Many of my sins, O Theotokos, I have turned to Thee, O Pure One, demanding salvation: visit my feeble soul and pray to Thy Son and our God to grant me forgiveness, O Blessed One, who have done my cruel deeds.  Lord, have mercy, 40. And bow down as mightily as possible.

And now, O Lord, bless, yes, sighing from the heart, and singing with my tongue, saying: 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. In the same way, it is not enough, until all feelings are calmed. Then do not make the beginning quickly, without sloth, with tenderness and a broken heart. Rcy cue: "Blessed is the man..." quietly and intelligently, with attention, and not struggling, as one understands with one's mind.

Kathisma First

1. Psalm of David.

Blessed is the man who did not go to the assembly of the wicked, and did not stand in the way of sinners, and did not sit in the company of destroyers, but in the law of the Lord is his will, and in His law he shall learn day and night. And it shall be like a tree planted at the fountain of waters, which shall bear fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall away. And everything he does will be successful. Not so wicked, not so: but like dust that the wind sweeps away from the face of the earth! Therefore the wicked shall not rise up in judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

2. Psalm of David.
