The judge sits, and the angel stands, / the trumpet blows, the flame burns, / what will you do, my soul, when you are led to Judgment? / then for your evil will be revealed, / and your secret sins will be exposed. / Moreover, before the end, the Judge cries: / God, cleanse me and save me.
With the Judge sitting and the Angels standing by, / a sounding trumpet, a burning flame, / what will you do, my soul, / when they lead you to Judgment? / For then your evil deeds will appear, / and your secret sins will be revealed. / Therefore, before the end, cry to the Judge: / “God, cleanse me and save me!”
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let us conquer all, and let Christ fall asleep / with much oil and bright lights, / so that we may be made worthy of the palace within, / who has comprehended outside the doors, / idlely will cry out to God: have mercy on me.
Glory: Let us all stay awake and meet Christ / with plenty of oil and bright lamps, / so that we may be worthy to enter into the palace; / for those who remain behind the doors will cry out to God in vain: / “Have mercy on me!”
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. Lying on the bed of many sins, / I am robbed of the hope of my salvation, / for the sleep of my laziness / intercedes for torment for my soul. / But You, O God, were born of a Virgin, / raise me up to Your singing, that I may glorify You.
And now: Lying on the bed of many sins, / I am deprived of hope for my salvation, / for the sleep of my laziness foreshadows torment for my soul. / But You, God, born of the Virgin, / raise me up to sing to You, / so that I may glorify You.
Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:
Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:
Lord, my God, who is Good and Lover of Mankind, you have done many kindnesses to me, even more than you could hope to see, and what will I repay your goodness, my Lord, Lord? I thank Your much-sung name, I thank Your inscrutable kindness towards me, I thank Your unconditional long-suffering. And from now on, intercede, and help me, and cover me, Master, from everyone, even if no one sins before You: You weigh my useful nature, You weigh my madness, You weigh what I have done, whether in knowledge or not, whether voluntary and involuntary, even in the night and in the days, and in the mind, and thoughts, for God is Good and Lover of Mankind, cleanse me with the dew of mercy Yours, Most Gracious Lord, and save us in Your holy name, in the name of our destinies. For You are light and truth and life, and to You we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages, amen. Lord, my God, You, as the Good One and the Lover of Mankind, have done many mercies to me, which I did not hope to see!
And what shall I repay Thy goodness, O my Lord, O Lord? I thank Your constantly chanted name, I thank Your inscrutable mercy towards me, I thank Your unparalleled long-suffering. And from now on, protect me, and help me, and cover me, Master, from all troubles, so that I will no longer sin before You. For You know the tendency of my nature to fall, You know my madness, You know what I have done, consciously and out of ignorance, voluntarily and involuntarily, night and day, both in mind and in thought. Cleanse, as the Good and Humane-loving God, all this with the dew of Your mercy, Most Gracious Lord, and save us for the sake of Your holy name, in ways known to You. For You are light, and truth, and life, and to You we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Psalm 55
Finally, about the people who were removed from the saints, to David in the book of pillars, who once kept foreign women in Gath, psalm.
Finally, about the people removed from the holy places, David, for writing on the pillar, when he was held by foreigners in Gath, 55.
Have mercy on me, God, as a man has trampled upon me, struggling with the cold all day long. My enemies begged me all day long, like so many fighting against me from on high. One day I will not fear, but I will trust in You. I will praise my words in God, I will trust in God, I will not be afraid, what will the flesh do to me? All day long they abhor my words, all their thoughts of evil are against me. They will dwell and hide, and they will preserve my heel, just as you have suffered my soul. I will not give up the thought, I will bring down the wrath of the people. O God, I have declared my life to You; You have laid down my tears before You, as in Your promise. May my enemies return back, even as daylight will I call upon Thee; behold, I know that Thou art my God. About God I will praise the verb, about the Lord I will praise the word. I trust in God, I will not be afraid, what will man do to me? In me, O God, are prayers that I will give Thy praise, for Thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my nose from cravings, and I am pleasing before the Lord in the light of the living. Have mercy on me, O God, for man has trampled me under foot; Every day, attacking, he pursued me.
My enemies trampled me all day long, for there were many arrogant ones who attacked me. I will never fear, for I trust in You! I will praise God with the words of my songs; I have trusted in God, I will not fear: what can the flesh do to me? Every day my enemies abhor my words; They are plotting evil against me. They will gather and hide; They will watch my foot, keeping watch for my soul. But You will easily reject them, You will overthrow the nations in anger! God, I have told You my life; My tears are dear to You according to Your promise. May my enemies be turned back on the day when I call on You! Now I know that You are my God! I will praise God with my speeches, I will praise the Lord with the words of my songs. I trust in God, I will not be afraid: what can man do to me? I have vows, O God, and I will fulfill them for Your glory; For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. I will please the Lord in His light among the living!
Psalm 56
In the end, let David not be corrupted into writing the pillars, when he runs away from the face of Saul into the cave.
In the end, may you not destroy David, for writing on the pillar when he fled from Saul into the cave, 56.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for my soul trusts in You, and I hope in the shadow of Your wing, until lawlessness will pass away. I will call to God Most High, the God who has done good to me. God sent from heaven and saved me, giving reproach to those who trampled on me, God sent His mercy and His truth, and delivered my soul from the midst of the Scimni. They are confused, sons of humanity, their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword. Ascend into heaven, O God, and Thy glory is throughout all the earth. You have prepared a net for my feet and slush for my soul, digging a pit before me and falling into the nude. My heart is ready, God, my heart is ready, I will sing and sing in my glory. Arise, my glory, arise to the psaltery and harp, I will arise early. I will confess to You among the people, Lord, I will sing to You in the midst of the people, for Your mercy has been magnified to the heavens, and even to the clouds of Your truth. Ascend into heaven, O God, and Thy glory is throughout all the earth. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for my soul trusts in You, and I will hope in the shadow of Your wings until iniquity disappears.
I will cry out to the Most High God, God who has done good for me. He sent help from Heaven and saved me, putting my oppressors to shame; God sent His mercy and His truth, And delivered my soul from the attack of lions, when I spent my nights in confusion. Sons of men! Their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword. Ascend into Heaven, O God, and let Your glory shine throughout all the earth! The enemies have spread a snare for my feet and have oppressed my soul; They dug a hole in front of my face, and they themselves fell into it. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing in my glory! Arise, my glory! Arise, psalter and harp! I'll get up early. I will glorify You among the nations, O Lord, I will sing praises to You among the nations; For great is Thy mercy, above the heavens, and Thy truth above the clouds. Ascend into heaven, O God, and let Your glory shine throughout all the earth!
Psalm 57
In the end, don’t corrupt David into the pillars.
In the end, lest you destroy David, for writing on the pillar, 57.
