Excerpts from PSALM 50 (Septuagint)
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your great mercy;
and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression.
Wash me thoroughly from my lawlessness and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my lawlessness, and my sin is ever before me.
Against You only have I sinned and done evil in Your sight;
that You may be justified in Your words, and overcome when You are judged.
For behold, I was conceived in transgressions, and in sin my mother bore me.
Behold, You love truth;
You showed me the unknown and secret things of Your wisdom.
You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed;
You shall wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
You shall make me hear joy and gladness;
my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice.
Turn Your face from my sins, and blot out all my transgressions.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your guiding Spirit.
Along with various refrains of: Glory to thee, O' Lord, Glory to thee in Church Slavonic
Lord have mercies in Church Slavonic
As well as: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages, Amen. - also in Church Slavonic

Exercpts from PSALM 135 (Septuagint)
Praise the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise him, you servants of the Lord,
you who minister in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
The Lord does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of people and animals.
He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—
Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan—
and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.
Your name, Lord, endures forever,
your renown, Lord, through all generations.
For the Lord will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
Then: Verses from "He struck down the firstborn of Egypt" is recited once more.

Metanoia

The calls of the nightingale encompasses the emerald forest,
Billowing gentle sways of the thickets,
Howling roars of the great pines,
Hearken now to my secondary abode,
May the forest of my eternal desires free flow among the majesty of the mighty evergreens,
Fulfilling all the individual's desires to God,
O’ how I long for you my precious flora and fauna of the wood,
Of the green kingdom under Christ,
Place me under Your bulwark,
Fortify me under Your gentle breeze,
Never cease to cast me under Your spell of prayer,

Enslaved to the passions,
With feeble hope to Thee,
In everlasting prayer, I pray to Thee,
That I mightest be justified in Thy words,
To be free’d from the pit of devilish slavery,
And the frostbite of sin and its separation from Thee,
I fall down in weakness to Thine comforting abode,
Knowing, that the world hated Thee before it hated me,
Thy mercy has planted the true seed of wisdom,
The true vine of wisdom hast Thou showed me in thine everlasting mercy,
Vanquishing and trampling over the evil one,
Just as Thou hast done after Thy resurrection,
Inscribe my name in the Book of Life,
That I may join and bask in Thy glory and wisdom,
And disdain me from the everlasting and infernal evil dominion,
All knees shall bend to Thee,
Come and abide in me and take not Thy Spirit from me,
In this distant and forsaken land Thou will guide me,
Through all the pits of Hades,
Thou will vanquish and free me from the force of corruption
Send Thine heavenly army in order that I may behold the bosom of Abraham in mine unworthy eyes,

Martyrdom

O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee have we put our trust. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O Eternal Word of the Father, Jesus Christ, Who art Thyself perfect: Because of Thy great mercy, do not ever depart from me, Thy servant, but always abide in me. O Jesus, Good Shepherd of Thy sheep, let me not fall into the disobedience of the serpent.
