Rejoice, righteous ones, in the Lord, rejoice in the Ever-Virgin Mary, sing a new song to Him, sing well to the Lady with an exclamation; drink from Her heavenly sweets, for She delights the hearts and lips of the wise; May our soul rejoice in Her, She, like the sweetest manna, will nourish us in the desert of this world, and deliver our souls from death.
I will bless the Lady Mary at all times; I will ensure that Her praise will not fail in my lips; exalt Yu with me, all of you, saturated with the honey and milk of Her consolation; in troubles and sorrows, call upon Yu, and in your needs you will find help and peace; sweetly accept Her holy image of life and be jealous of Her love and humility, since the Most Holy Virgin is meek and humble: the Uncreated Word by the Holy Spirit received flesh from Her.
Rejoice, Ever-Virgin Most Holy Mary, most honorable of the Cherubim, most glorious of the Seraphim, most exalted of all Saints! Keep, I pray, my heart from sinful stumbling blocks, which Thy virgin eyes displease, distract my mind from earthly desires and turn to heavenly love, so that my soul may learn Thy righteousness, and my heart will be filled with Thy praise all day long.
Judge, Lady, those who offend me and rise up against them and protect my innocence. My soul rejoices in You and I rejoice in Your prayers: heaven and earth are full of Your mercy. The nets of hell were stretched out everywhere for me, but You, Lady, with Your grace protected me from them; glory to You, my Helper; all my bones say: Lady, Lady Mary, who according to God is like You!
The most iniquitous blasphemy against Thy name, O Most Holy Queen, and wondrous miracles seem to have been fabricated; the words of his foul mouth are lawlessness and flattery, but we believe and confess that You have passed away with the flesh to heaven and stand before the throne of God; Thy miracles and Thy mercies are an abyss, and all who worship Thee will be reliably sheltered under the shelter of Thy wing. O Mother of God, by Your intercession bow the most holy face of Your beloved Son and our Savior to us, make Him merciful with Your prayers to us sinners: add Your mercy to those who lead You; Thy grace is poured out over all the earth, power and strength are in Thy arm, strength and strength are in Thy right hand; Blessed is Thy praise in heaven, blessed is Thy splendor on earth.
Rejoice, verbal paradise and God-enlightened one, pure Virgin Mary, everyone who flows with love to You, all sorrows and sorrows are freed; We also pray to Thee: all who have reposed in the faith of Thy servants, who have piously confessed Theotokos to Thee, deliver from all suffering and eternal condemnation and grant the desired paradise of ever-present pleasure to Thee, the only Most Pure One.
Do not be jealous of those who are evil, nor do you envy those who commit lawlessness, O true honorer of the shrine of the Mother of God! For the workers of iniquity, like grain, will soon fall away; trust in the all-powerful Queen of Heaven and do good deeds, and take refuge in Her wealth; It is better to eat little with Her grace than to eat many treasures and precious stones; trust in the Lord, trust in His beloved Mother, and all the good requests of your heart will be fulfilled.
Rejoice, brightest and most meek heavenly Dove, enlighten my inner darkness with the beauty of Your splendor; attend, O Lady, attend to the sighing of my heart, from the fulfillment of Thy grace bring down the dew, reviving my dull spirit.
According to the 5th kathisma troparia, ch. 5
In many ways, Virgin, Christ has become bitter, in thoughts and words and deeds, and I am afraid of His terrible judgment, but, having preceded it, deliver me from the fierce by Your prayer, O Theotokos.
For me, who have sinned a lot, Lord, have mercy and save me, Who gave birth to You with your prayers, so that I glorify Your many things and immeasurable mercy.
One shining with divine glory, like the Mother of You who has been glorified, increase the highest glory, O Virgin, implore the only Most Glorified One.
Oh, Most Holy Virgin Mary, Most Blessed Mother of God my Savior, joy to the sorrowing, hope to the unreliable, and help to the helpless! You weigh all the scabs of my sins, but I want to be cleansed from them, with a sorrowful heart I run to You and pray to You with tears: look at my weaknesses and do not let me perish in my sins. Thou weigh the nakedness of my soul, help me to clothe myself with the robe of Thy beloved Son. Weigh you, as if I am a beggar, I strive to open the treasury of grace-filled gifts, so that I may keep the vows I made at holy baptism; You weigh my enemies, carnal and incorporeal, deliver me from them. You weigh, O Lord our Intercessor, the time of the exodus of my soul from my damned body, most of all mercifully present yourself to me then, so that in Your holy presence the exodus of my soul will be quiet and joyful and may the spirits of evil in the heavens not take up arms against me, but, covered by Your cover, inaccessible to them, may it return without evil to its beginning and source.
Oh, loving Mother, show me, strange, orphan and wretched, that You are truly the Mother of mercy and generosity and do not cease to cover me and constantly intercede for me, until you bring Your Divine Son to the heavenly palace, to Him with His Beginning Father and the Most Holy Spirit be honor and glory and worship forever and ever. Amen.
