Choir: Irmos: On the immovable stone of Your commandments, O Christ, // establish my thoughts.

Chorus: Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me. (for each troparion)

Listen to the sky, and I will shout,/ to the earth, inspire a voice, // repenting to God and praising Him.

Fire from the Lord sometimes/ The Lord rained down,/ the land of Sodom// fell first.

Save yourself on the mountain, O soul,/ like Lot,/ and take him to Zoar.

Flee the flames, O soul,/flee the burning of Sodom,//flee the corruption of the Divine flame.

I confess to You, Savior:/ I have sinned, I have sinned:/ But weaken, leave me alone,// For I am kind.

I have sinned only against You,/ I have sinned more than all, O Christ the Savior,// but do not despise me.

You are the good shepherd, / seek me the lamb, / and do not despise me when he goes astray.

You are sweet, Jesus, / You are my Creator // in You, the Savior, I will be justified.

Chorus: Most Holy Trinity our God, glory to Thee.

Trinity: O Trinity Unity God!/ Save us from delusion, // and temptations, and circumstances.

Chorus: Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Theotokos: Rejoice, God-pleasing womb,/ Rejoice, throne of the Lord,// Rejoice, Mother of our Life.

Chorus: Irmos: Establish, O Lord, on the rock of Your commandments/ my moving heart,// for You and the Lord alone are Holy.

Chorus: Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me. (for each troparion)

The source of the life of gain is to You,/ the destroyer of death,/ and I cry to You from my heart before the end of my sins, cleanse and save me.

Under Noah, the Savior,/ imitating fornication,/ they inherited condemnation,// in the flood of immersion.

I have sinned, Lord,/ I have sinned against You, cleanse me:/ for there is no one who has sinned among men,// whom I have not exceeded in sins.

Hama to your soul,/ imitating the parricide,/ did not cover your sincere shame,// returning back in vain.

The blessing of Shem was not inherited by your damned soul,/ nor by extensive possession,// as Japheth had when you were abandoned on earth.

From the land of Haran,/ come from sin, my soul,/ come to the land that wears out ever-living incorruptibility,// Abraham’s inheritance.

You heard Abraham, my soul, / having long ago left the land of your fatherland, / and having been a stranger, // imitate this will.

At the oak of Mamre/ the Patriarch of the Angels established/ inheritance in old age// the promises of catching.

Isaac, my accursed soul,/ having understood the new sacrifice,/ the secretly burnt offering to the Lord,// imitate his will.

Ismaila heard you, my soul is sober, / expelled like the birth of a slave, / see, but not like that / you will suffer kindly.

Hagar, the ancient soul of the Egyptians, became like you, / enslaved by will, and giving birth // to the new Ishmael, contempt.

Jacob’s ladder/ meant my soul, / appearing from earth to heaven,/ why did you not have// the rise of firmness, piety?

The priest of God and the king of solitude, / Christ’s likeness, // in the world of life, imitate in men.

Do not awaken the glorious pillar of the soul, / returning back: / let the image of Sodom frighten you, / / ​​woe to Zoar, save yourself.

Burn like Lot,/ my soul flee from sin:/ flee Sodom and Gomorrah,// flee the flame of every wordless desire.

Have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me, I cry to You,/ when you come with Your angels,// to reward everyone according to the merits of their deeds.

Prayers, Master,/ Do not turn away those who sing to You,/ but be generous, O Lover of mankind,// and grant forgiveness by faith to those who ask.

Chorus: Reverend Mother Mary, pray to God for us.

Mary: We contain the storm and the anxiety of sins,/ but save me now, mother herself, // and lead me to the haven of Divine repentance.

Chorus: Reverend Mother Mary, pray to God for us.

Mary: Slave prayer and now the venerable one / brought to the blessed Mother of God with your prayers, / / ​​open the Divine entrances for me.

Chorus: Reverend Father Andrew, pray to God for us.

To Andrey: Through your prayers grant/to me also forgiveness of debts,/O Andrew of Crete, the chairman!//of repentance, for you are a most despicable hiding place.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Trinity: The Trinity is simple, uncreated,/ the beginningless Nature,/ in the Trinity sung by the Hypostases,/ we are saved by faith who worship/ Thy power.

And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Theotokos: From the Father the flightless Son,/ in the summer of the Mother of God/ you unknowingly gave birth to,/ a strange miracle, // the Virgin remained milking.
