For those who sail, for those who travel, for those who are sick, for those who suffer, for those who are captive, and for their salvation, let us pray to the Lord.

That we may be delivered from all sorrow, wrath and need, let us pray to the Lord.

Intercede, save, have mercy on us, and preserve us, O God, by Thy grace.

Our Most-Holy, Most-Pure, Most-Blessed, Glorious Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, having commemorated all the saints, let us commit ourselves, and each other, and all our life to Christ our God.

Choir: To Thee, O Lord.

Priest: For unto Thee is due all glory, honor and worship, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

Choir: Amen.

Antiphons

Antiphons at the Liturgy are of three kinds: festal, pictorial, and everyday (weekday). Which of them are sung is determined for each day by the Church Ustav. Festive antiphons are sung on the feasts of the Lord, with the exception of the Meeting of the Lord (festive antiphons on the Sunday of Vai, on Pascha, on the Ascension and on the Day of the Holy Trinity are given in the chapter "Hymns from the services of the Colored Triodion").

Daily antiphons are supposed to be sung on weekdays. Most often on Sundays and feast days, pictorial antiphons are sung (Psalms 102:145 and Blessed – Matt. 5:3-12)

First Antiphon

1. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Blessed art Thou, O Lord. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me is His holy Name.

2. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His rewards.

1. Who cleanses all thy iniquities, healeth all thy infirmities.

2. Who delivereth thy life from corruption, Who crowneth thee with mercy and bounty.

1. Who fulfills thy desire for good: thy youth shall be renewed like an eagle.

2. Творяй милостыни Господь, и судьбу всем обидимым.

1. Сказа пути Своя Моисеови, сыновом Израилевым хотения Своя.

2. Щедр и милостив Господь, долготерпелив и многомилостив.

1. Не до конца прогневается, ниже в век враждует.

2. Не по беззаконием нашим сотворил есть нам, ниже по грехом нашим воздал есть нам.
