Irmos: The sea of life, / raised in vain by the misfortunes of the storm, / flowed to Your quiet refuge, I cry to You: / lift up my life from aphids, / O great mercy.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Living on earth I lived fornication / and gave my soul into darkness, / now I pray to Thee, Merciful Master: / free me from the work of sowing the enemy, / and give me the mind to create Your will.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Who creates things like I do? / Just like a pig lies in a dung, / so I serve sin. / But You, Lord, pluck me from this vileness / and give my heart to do Your commandments.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy on me.
Arise, wretched man, to God, / remembering your sins, / falling to the Creator, crying and groaning; / He, who is merciful, / will give you the mind to know His will.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Theotokos: Virgin Mary, / from visible and invisible evil, save me, O Most Pure One, / and accept my prayers, / and convey them to Your Son, / may He give me the mind to do His will.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
For I have saved death and aphids, / having given forth death myself, / through corruption and death my former nature, O Virgin, / pray to the Lord and Thy Son, / to deliver me from the enemies of crime.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
I am your representative and steadfast guardian, O Virgin, / and I solve rumors of misfortunes, and drive away taxes from demons; / and I always pray to deliver me from the corruption of my passions.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Like a wall of refuge for money-grubbers, / and the all-perfect salvation of souls, / and space in sorrow, O Maiden, / and through Your enlightenment we always rejoice: / O Lady, save us even now from passions and troubles.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
I now lie on my sickbed, / and there is no healing for my flesh: / but, having given birth to the God and Savior of the world and the Savior of ailments, / I pray to you, O Good One: / raise me from aphids.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Free me from all misfortunes, and save me from sorrows, / I pray to you, holy Angel, given to me by God, / to my good guardian.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Illuminate my mind, O blessed one, and enlighten me, / I pray to you, holy Angel, / and always instruct me to think usefully.
Glory: Tidy my heart from the present rebellion, / and be vigilant, strengthen me in good things, my guardian, / and guide me wonderfully towards the silence of animals.
And now: The Word of God dwells in Thee, Mother of God, / and man shows Thee the heavenly ladder; / Because of you, the Most High came down to us to eat.
Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)
Glory, and now:
