O God, do not keep silent from my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the weary one opens against me, speaking against me with a flattering tongue, and speaking to me with hateful words, and despising me me tune. Instead of loving me, I slandered me, but I prayed, and put evil on me for good, and hatred for my love. Place a sinner on him, and let the devil stand at his right hand. Let him always be judged, and let him come out condemned, and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be short, and let his bishopric take over: let his sons be Syrians, and his wife a widow: he that moves, let his sons abide and ask, and let them be cast out from their houses. May the lender seek all that is his, and may the labors of others delight him. Let there be no intercessor for him; let him be merciful to his orphans. Let his children be destroyed; let his name be used up in one generation. Let his father’s iniquity be remembered before the Lord, and let his mother’s sin not be cleansed. Let them be taken before the Lord, and let their memory be consumed from the earth.
I don’t even remember to show mercy, and I drive a man into poverty and wretchedness, and I am touched in my heart to kill him. And love the oath, and it will come to him, and do not desire the blessing, and will withdraw from him. And he was clothed with an oath like a robe, and like water was in his womb, and like oil was in his bones. Let him be like a robe, and let him put on a robe, and let him wear it like a girdle, with which he girds himself. This is the work of those who lie against me before the Lord and speak evil against my soul. And You, Lord, Lord, do to me in Your name, for Your mercy is good. Deliver me, for I am poor and wretched, and my heart is troubled within me. Like a canopy, when one evades it, one shakes off and shakes like a spring. My knees are weary from fasting, and my flesh has changed for the sake of oil. And I was reproached by them, seeing me, and bowing my heads. Help me, O Lord my God, and save me according to Your mercy, and let them understand that this is Your hand, and You, Lord, created this. They will be cursed, and You will bless them; those who rise up against me will be ashamed, but Your servant will rejoice.
Let those who lie about me clothe themselves with shame, and let them clothe themselves like a garment with their own shame. I will confess to the Lord earnestly with my mouth, and in the midst of many I will praise Him, for I will appear at the right hand of the poor, even to save my soul from those who persecute. God, do not remain silent when I praise You! For the mouth of a sinner, the mouth of the evil one, opened against me, slandered me with an evil tongue, entangled me with words of hatred and attacked me in vain. Instead of loving me, they slandered me, and I prayed to God; And they repaid me with evil for good, and hatred for my love. Subdue the enemy to the sinner, and let the devil stand next to him! When he is judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be a sin to him! May his days be short, and may his dignity be accepted by others! May his sons become orphans and his wife a widow! May his sons wander constantly and beg for alms, and may they be driven out of their homes! May the trader seek all his property, and may strangers plunder the fruits of his labors! May there be no intercessor for him, and may no one show mercy to his orphans!
May destruction befall his children, may his name be blotted out in one generation! May the Lord remember the iniquity of his fathers, and may he not forgive the sin of his mother! May their sins always be before the Lord, and may the memory of them be destroyed from the earth, Because my enemy did not want to show mercy and pursued a poor, wretched and broken-hearted man in order to kill him. And he deserved a curse, and it would fall on him; and he did not desire the blessing, and departed from it. And he will be clothed with the curse like a garment, and it will flow like water into his womb and like oil into his bones; Let it be to him like the garment that he wears, and like the girdle that he girds himself with! Such is the fate of those who slander me before the Lord and speak evil about my soul! But You, Lord, Lord, protect me in Your name, according to Your good mercy! Deliver me, for I am poor and wretched, and my heart trembles within me! Like a running shadow, I disappear; They drive me away like locusts. My knees became weak from fasting, and my body became weak without oil. And I became a laughing stock to my enemies; looking at me, they nod their heads.
Help me, Lord my God, and save me according to Your mercy! And may they know the power of Your hand, and may You, Lord, do this! They will curse me, but You will bless me; Let those who rise up against me be ashamed, but let Your servant rejoice. May those who slander me be clothed with shame, and may they be clothed with their shame like a garment! I will proclaim the glory of the Lord with my mouth, I will praise Him among the multitude; For He appeared to me, poor, to save my soul from the persecutors.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:
Master Lord Jesus Christ, You are my Helper, I am in Your hands, help me, do not leave me to sin against You, for I am mistaken, do not leave me to follow the will of my flesh, do not despise me, Lord, for I am weak. You weigh what is useful to me, do not leave me to perish in my sins, do not forsake me, Lord, do not depart from me, as I have come to You, teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Heal my soul, for I have sinned, save me for the sake of Your mercy, for before You are all who suffer, and I have no other refuge but You, Lord. Let them all be ashamed who rise up against me and seek my life even if they consume it, for You are the only Mighty One, O Lord, in all, and Yours is the glory forever and ever, amen. Master Lord Jesus Christ, You are my helper, I am in Your hands; help me, do not let me sin before You, for I am lost. Do not leave me to follow the will of my flesh, do not despise me, Lord, for I am weak.
You know what is useful to me, do not leave me to perish from my sins, do not forsake me, Lord, do not depart from me, for I have fled to You, teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Heal my soul, for I have sinned before You. Save me according to Your mercy, for before You are all those who oppress me, and I have no other refuge but You, Lord. Let all those who rise up against me and seek my soul in order to destroy it be ashamed! For You, Lord, are the Mighty One among all, and Your glory is forever and ever. Amen.
