Irmos: As Israel walked on the dry land, / in the footsteps of the abyss, / seeing the persecutor of Pharaoh / being drowned, / we sing a song of victory to God, crying out.
Chorus: Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Now I, a sinner and burdened, have come / to You, my Master and God; / I don’t dare look at the sky, / I just pray, the verb: / Give me, Lord, mind, / May I weep bitterly for my deeds.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Oh, woe to me, a sinner! / I am more damned than all men, / there is no repentance in me; / give me, Lord, tears, / let me cry bitterly for my deeds.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
You are a fool, wretched man, / in laziness you are wasting time; / think about your life, / and turn to the Lord God, / and weep bitterly for your deeds.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Theotokos: Most Pure Mother of God, / look upon me, a sinner, / and deliver me from the snare of the devil, / and guide me on the path of repentance, / so that I may weep bitterly for my deeds.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Contained by many misfortunes, / I resort to You, seeking salvation: / Oh, Mother of the Word and the Virgin, / save me from heavy and cruel ones.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Passions confuse me; / many despondencies fill my soul; / die, O Young Lady, / with the silence of the Son and Thy God, O All-Immaculate One.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Who gave birth to Thee and God as the Savior, / I pray, O Virgin, to be delivered from the cruel ones: / now running to You, / I extend both my soul and my thoughts.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Sick in body and soul, / visits from the Divine and provision from You, the only Mother of God, / like a good Mother.
To Jesus: Lord Jesus Christ my God, have mercy on me.
Sing and praise the song, O Savior, / Your servant is worthy of the likeness, / of the bodiless Angel, my mentor and guardian.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Only I now lie in foolishness and laziness, / my mentor and guardian, / do not leave me, perishing.
Glory: Direct my mind with your prayer, / do God’s commandments, / so that I may receive remission of sins from God, / and teach me to hate the evil ones, I pray to you.
And now: Pray, O Maiden, for me, Thy servant, to the Benefactor, / with my guardian Angel, / and instruct me to do the commandments of Thy Son and my Creator.
