Oh, Marvelous Creator, Humane-loving Master, Most Merciful Lord! With a contrite and humble heart I pray to Thee: do not disdain my sinful prayer, do not reject my tears and sighs, hear me, like the Canaanite, do not despise me, like a harlot, show upon me, a sinner, the great mercy of Thy love for mankind: with Thy robe of honest protection, have mercy and strengthen me, so that all the troubles and misfortunes sent from You will come with I will endure thanksgiving in the hope of eternal blessings; Rather, turn my sadness into joy, so that I, the damned one, do not fall into despair and perish. For You are the source of mercy and the unshameful hope of our salvation, Christ our God, and to You we send glory with Your Beginning Father, and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving One By the Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
