Living on earth, my soul, repent: / the dust in the grave does not sing, it does not take away sins. / Cry out to Christ God: / Knower of the heart, I have sinned, / before even condemning me, have mercy on me.
While living on earth, my soul, repent: / the dust in the grave cannot sing, / and then you will not be freed from your sins. / Call out to Christ God: / “Thou knower of the heart, I have sinned, / before my condemnation, have mercy on me!”
How long, my soul, do you remain in sin? / How long will you accept repentance? / Take in mind the coming judgment and cry out to the Lord: / Know your heart, I have sinned, / before you even judge me, have mercy on me.
How long, my soul, do you remain in sin? / How long are you putting off the time of repentance? / Imagine in your mind the coming Judgment and cry out to the Lord: / “Thou knower of the heart, I have sinned, / before my condemnation, have mercy on me!”
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. At the Last Judgment I am convicted without verbiage, / I am condemned without witnesses, / for the books of conscience are unbent, / and hidden deeds are revealed. / Before I try in this public disgrace what I have done, / God, cleanse me and save me.
Glory: At the Last Judgment, without accusers, I am convicted, / without witnesses, I am condemned, / for the books of conscience are opened, / and hidden deeds are revealed. / Before at that national spectacle / you experience what I have done, / God, cleanse me and save me.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. There is something misunderstood and incomprehensible, / O Lady of the Grace of God, / a terrible sacrament performed for You: / Having conceived the incomprehensible, You gave birth to / flesh, overlaid with pure blood Yours: / Him, Pure One, like Your Son, pray / to save all who sing of You.
And now: Incomprehensible and incomprehensible, / Lady blessed by God, / the terrible sacrament that took place in You: / for having conceived the Immense One, You gave birth to Him, / clothed with flesh from Your pure blood. / Pray to Him, Pure, as Your Son, / to save all who sing Your praises.
Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:

Psalm 24
Psalm to David.
Psalm of David, 24.
To You, Lord, I have lifted up my soul, my God, in You I have trusted, so that I will not be ashamed forever; let my enemies laugh at me, for all those who endure You will not be ashamed. Let the wicked be ashamed in vain. Tell me Your ways, Lord, and teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth, and teach me that You are the God of my Savior, and I have endured You all day long. Remember Your bounties, O Lord, and Your mercies, as they have been since time immemorial. The sin of my youth, and my ignorance, do not remember; in Your mercy, remember me, for the sake of Your goodness, Lord. The Lord is good and right; for this reason He will give a law to those who sin along the way. He will guide the meek in judgment, He will teach the meek in His way. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who seek His covenant and His testimonies. For the sake of Your name, Lord, and cleanse my sin, for there is much. Who is the man who fears the Lord? He will lay the law on his path according to his will. His soul will settle in good things, and his seed will inherit the earth. The Lord is the power of those who fear Him, and He will show His covenant to them.
I will lift up my eyes to the Lord, for He will pluck out my eyes from the snare. Look upon me and have mercy on me, for I am the only begotten and the poor. The sorrows of my heart have multiplied, and lead me away from my needs. See my humility and my work, and forgive all my sins. My enemies have seen how they have multiplied, and they have hated me with unrighteous hatred. Save my soul and deliver me, so that I will not be ashamed because I trusted in You. I cling to kindness and justice, for I have suffered Thee, Lord. Deliver, O God, Israel from all his sorrows. To You, Lord, I lift up my soul. My God, I trust in You, may I not be put to shame forever, and may my enemies not laugh at me! For all those who trust in You will not be put to shame. Let those who commit iniquity in vain be put to shame! Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me into Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves me; and I hope in You every day. Remember Your mercies, O Lord, and Your mercies, for they are eternal. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my ignorance; in Thy mercy remember me, in Thy goodness, O Lord!
The Lord is good and righteous, therefore He gives His law to those who sin along the way. He will show the meek the truth, He will teach the meek His paths. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth for those who seek His covenant and His revelations. For the glory of Your name, Lord, cleanse me from sin, for it is great. Which people fear the Lord? God will give him the law on the path prepared for him. His soul will find bliss, and his descendants will inherit the earth. The Lord is the support of those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. My eyes always look to the Lord, and He will pluck my feet from the snare. Look at me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and poor. The sorrows of my heart have multiplied, deliver me from my troubles! Look at my humility and my heavy burden and forgive my sins! Look at my enemies, they have multiplied and hated me with unrighteous hatred. Save my soul and deliver me from troubles, so that I will not be ashamed that I trusted in You! The gentle and righteous joined me, for I trusted in You, Lord. Deliver, O God, Israel from all her sorrows!
