For my iniquities weigh upon my

head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds are foul and

festering because of my foolishness.

I am troubled, I am bowed down

greatly; thus I go mourning all the day long.

For my loins are full of

inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

I am feeble and severely broken;

I groan because of the turmoil of My heart.

Lord, all my desire is before Thee

and My sighing is not hidden from Thee.

My heart pants, my strength fails

me; the light of my eyes has also gone from me.

My loved ones and my friends

stand aloof from my plague, and my relatives stand afar off.

Those also who seek My Life lay

snares for me.

Those who seek My harm speak

of destruction and plan deception all the day long.

But I, like a deaf man, do not

hear; and I Am like a mute who does not open his mouth.

Thus I Am like a man who does

not hear and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in Thee, O Lord, I hope; Thou will hear, O Lord my God.

For I said, “Hear Me, lest they rejoice over Me. Lest, when My Foot slips, they exalt themselves against Me.”

I Am ready for Wounds and My

For I will confess my iniquity; I

will be in anguish over my sins.

But My enemies are vigorous, and

they are strong; and those who hate Me wrongfully have multiplied.

Those also who render evil for

good, they are My adversaries because I follow what is Good.

Do not forsake Me, O Lord; O My

God, be not far from Me! Make haste to help Me, O God of My Salvation! [2]

Because Thy Loving-kindness is

better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.

Thus I will Bless Thee while I live.

I will lift up my hands in Thy Name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with

marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips.

I shall remember Thee on my bed

Why is mankind deceived into

boasting, and why is he troubled for no purpose, since he is made of earth and will soon return to it? Why not reflect on the fact that he is made from earth, and will end in rotten putrefaction? So if we humans are clay, why are we so attached to the earth? And if we are planted together with Christ, why not run to Him, and leave behind this mortal and fleeting life, and aspire rather to the Life Incorruptible? Christ is this Life, and the Illumintion of our souls.

Praise Him with timbrel and

When Thou formed Adam with

Thy Hand, O Saviour, Thou set him between Incorruption and mortality. Later, Thou made Life in Grace to be free of corruption, and Thou moved him back to his former Life. Now, O Master, to Thy Servants, whom Thou hast taken from us to Thyself, grant Repose with the Righteous and in the Choir of the Elect; and record their names in the Book of Life; and raise them at the sound of the Archangel’s Trumpet; and count them worthy of Thy Heavenly Kingdom.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and

forget not all His Benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who Redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with Loving-kindness and tender Mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with Good Things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord executes Righteousness

and Justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His Ways to Moses, His Acts to the Children of Israel. The Lord is Merciful and Gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in Mercy.

He will not always struggle with

us, nor will He keep His Anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.

For, as the heavens are high above the earth, so Great is His Mercy towards those who fear Him.

As far as the East is from the

West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children, so

the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame;

But the Mercy of the Lord is from

Everlasting to Everlasting on those who fear Him and His Righteousness unto children’s children, to those who keep His Covenant, and to those who remember His Commandments - to do them.

The Lord has established His

Throne in Heaven and His Kingdom rules over all.

Have Mercy on me, O God,

according to Thy Great Mercy.

And according to the abundance

of Thy Compassion blot out my iniquity.

Wash me thoroughly from my

lawlessness, and Cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my lawlessness, and

my sin is always before me.

Against Thee only have I sinned,

and have done evil n Thy Sight: that Thou may be Justified in Thy Words, and may overcome when Thou art judged.

For behold: I was conceived in transgressions; and in sins my mother bore me.

Behold Thou Love Truth: Thou showed me the unknown and secret things of Thy Wisdom.

Thou shall sprinkle me with

hyssop, and I will be cleansed:

Thou shall wash me, and I will be

made whiter than snow.

Thou shall make me hear Joy and

Gladness; my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice.

Turn Thy Sight away from my

sins, and blot out all my transgressions.

Create a clean heart in me, O God:

and Renew a right spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from Thy

Presence, and do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the Joy of Thy

Salvation, and uphold me with Thy Guiding Spirit.

I will teach transgressors Thy

Ways: and the wicked shall return to Thee.
