(sung in the 2nd tone or read)
Blessed are the immaculate ones on the way, walking in the law of the Lord.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
The blessed ones who experience His testimonies will seek Him with all their hearts, doing no iniquity, walking in His ways. Thou hast commanded to keep Thy commandments strictly. So that my ways may be corrected, Thy justifications may be preserved. Then I will not be ashamed; I will always look upon all Your commandments. Let us confess to You in the righteousness of our hearts, always to teach us the destinies of Your righteousness. I will preserve Your excuses, do not leave me until the end. In this way the youngest will correct his path; always keep Your words. I seek You with all my heart, do not turn me away from Your commandments. I have hidden Your words in my heart, lest I sin against You. Blessed are You, Lord, teach me by Your justification.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
With my lips I declare all the destinies of Your mouth. On the path of Your testimonies I have enjoyed, like all riches. I will mock Your commandments, and I will understand Your ways. I will learn from Your righteousness; I will not forget Your words. Reward Your servant: I will live, and I will keep Your words. Open my eyes, and I will understand the wonders of Your law. I am a stranger on earth: do not hide Your commandments from me. Love my soul to desire Your destiny at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud: curse them that turn aside from Thy commandments. Take away from me diarrhea and humiliation, as evidence of Your demands.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
For the princes are hoary, and I am slandered, and Your servant mocks Your justifications: For Your testimonies are my teaching, and my counsels are Your justifications. My soul cleaves to the earth, live according to Your word.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Thou hast declared my ways, and Thou hast heard me: teach me Thy justification: Let me understand the way of Thy justifications, and I will mock at Thy wonders. My soul slumbers from despondency: strengthen me in Your words. Leave the path of unrighteousness from me, and have mercy on me by Your law.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
I have chosen the path of truth, and I have not forgotten Your destiny. I have clung to Your testimony, O Lord, do not put me to shame. The path of Your commandments flowed when You expanded my heart. Set for me, O Lord, the way of Your justifications, and I will seek and take away: Give me understanding, and I will try Your law, and I will keep it with all my heart. Guide me on the path of Your commandments, as I desire. Incline my heart to Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes, so as not to see vanity, let me live in Your way.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Place Your word in Thy fear. Take away my reproach, even though it is not pschevah: for Thy fate is good. Behold, I have desired Your commandments; live in Your righteousness. And may Thy mercy come upon me, Lord, Thy salvation according to Thy word. And I answer those who reproach my word: for I have trusted in Your words. And do not take away from my lips the words that are truly true, for I have trusted in Your fate. And I will keep Your law forever and ever. And I walked in breadth, because I sought Your commandments. And I spoke of Your testimonies before the kings, and was not ashamed: And I learned in Your commandments, which I have loved dearly: And I lifted up my hands to Your commandments, which I have loved, and mocked at Your justifications. Remember Your words to Your servant, in whose hope You gave me. Comfort me in my humility, for Your word lives on me. I am proud of the lawbreaker; I have not deviated from Your law. I will remember Your destinies from time immemorial, O Lord, and those who are comforted. I receive sorrow from sinners who forsake Your law.
Thy vindication was blown to me, at the place of my coming. I will remember Your name in the night, O Lord, and keep Your law. This will come to me as a justification for Your demands. Thou art my part, O Lord, determined to preserve Thy law. I have prayed to Your face with all my heart, have mercy on me according to Your word.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
I have thought of Thy ways, and returned my nose to Thy testimonies. I have prepared and am not embarrassed to keep Your commandments. The sinner has already obligated himself to me, and has not forgotten Your law. At midnight I rose to confess to You about the destinies of Your righteousness. I am a partaker of all who fear You and keep Your commandments. Fill the earth with Thy mercy, O Lord: teach me Thy justification. Thou hast done kindness to Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word. Teach me kindness and discipline and reason, as we have Your commandments of faith.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Before we even humble ourselves, we have sinned: for this reason I have kept Your word. Thou art good, O Lord, and by Thy goodness teach me by Thy justification. Multiply the unrighteousness of the proud among me, and I will test Your commandments with all my heart. Their hearts are as wet as milk, and I have learned Your law. It is good for me, for Thou hast humbled me, that I may learn by Thy justification. The law of Your mouth is good to me, more than thousands of gold and silver.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Thy hands create me and create me: give me understanding, and I will learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will see me and rejoice, because they trust in Your words. I understand, Lord, that the truth of Thy destiny, and Thou hast truly humbled me. Be Thy mercy, that Thy servant may comfort me according to Thy word. May Thy compassions come to me, and I will live, for Thy law is my teaching. Let them be ashamed of pride, for it is your unrighteousness that is lawless against me, but I will mock Your commandments. Let those who fear You and those who know Your testimonies convert me. Be my heart blameless in Your righteousness, so that I will not be ashamed. My soul disappears for Your salvation, I trust in Your words. My eyes are lost in Your word, saying: when You comfort me; I was like fur on my face; I have not forgotten Your justifications. How many are the days of Your servant; when you bring judgment upon me from those who persecute me; The transgressors told me mockery, but not like Your law, O Lord. All Your commandments are true: having persecuted me unjustly, help me.
For a little while you will not end me on the earth: I have not forsaken Your commandments.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Live according to Your mercy, and I will keep the testimonies of Your mouth. For ever, Lord, Your word remains in Heaven. Thy truth forever and ever. You founded the earth and it remains. The day endures through Your teaching, for every work is Yours.
Then we sing or read the following verses with chorus three times:
If only Thy law had not been my teaching, then I would have perished in my humility. I will never forget Your justifications, for You have revived me in them.
Chorus: Remember, O Lord, the souls of Thy servant (the soul of Thy servant, Thy handmaid).
Lord, have mercy (40 times).
