MATTNS

WITH lava is in the highest to God, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (3 times).

G Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. (2 times).

Psalm 3

Lord, why have you multiplied the cold? Many people rise up against me, many people say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But You, Lord, are my Protector, my glory, and lift up my head. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of the people around me who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck down all those who are at enmity with me in vain: You have crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is the Lord's, and Your blessing is upon Your people.

I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me.

Psalm 37

Lord, do not reprove me with Your wrath; do not punish me with Your wrath. As Thy arrows have struck me, and Thou hast strengthened Thy hand upon me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath, there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden is heavy upon me. My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. I suffered and sloshed to the end, walking around complaining all day. For my body is filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I would become embittered and humbled to death, roaring from the sighing of my heart. Lord, before You all my desire and my sighing are not hidden from You. My heart is confused, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes has left me, and that one is not with me. My friends and my sincere ones have come close to me and stasha, and my neighbors are far away from me, stasha and needy, seeking my soul, and seeking evil to me, speaking vainly and being flattered all day long. As if I were deaf and did not hear, and because I was dumb and did not open my mouth. And as a man he would not hear, nor would he have reproach in his mouth. For in You, O Lord, I have trusted; You will hear, O Lord my God. As if he said: “Let my enemies never make me happy; and never can my feet move, but you speak against me.” As if I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity and take care of my sin. My enemies live and have become stronger than me, and those who hate me without truth have multiplied. Those who reward me with evil, repaying the slander of me, persecute the goodness. Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Psalm 62

God, my God, I have come to You in the morning; my soul has thirsted for You, since my flesh is a multitude of You, in a land that is empty and impenetrable and without water. Thus I appeared to You in the Holy One, to see Your power and Your glory. For Thy mercy is better than belly, praise Thee with my lips. Thus I will bless You in my belly, I will lift up my hands in Your name. For my soul may be filled with fatness and ointment, and my lips will praise You with joy. When I remembered Ty on my bed, I learned from Ty in the morning. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand. They, having sought my soul in vain, will enter the underworld of the earth, surrender into the hands of weapons, and will be part of the fox. The king will rejoice in God, everyone who swears by Him will boast, for the lips of those who speak unrighteously have been stopped.

We studied in the morning in Tya. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand.

Psalm 87

O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer, for my soul is filled with evil, and my belly is drawing near to hell. He was used with those who descended into the pit, like a man without help, in the dead there was freedom, like ulcers sleeping in the tomb, whom You did not remember, and they were rejected from Your hand. Placing me in the pit of hell, in the dark and shadow of death. Thy wrath was established upon me, and all Thy waves were brought upon me. You removed those who knew me from me, making me an abomination to yourself: I was betrayed and never left. My eyes are exhausted from poverty, I have cried out to You, O Lord, all day long, I have lifted up my hands to You. Eating dead people work wonders? Or will the doctors resurrect and confess to You? Who is the story of Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in destruction? Will Thy wonders be known in darkness, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? And I cried to You, Lord, and my morning prayer will precede You. Why, O Lord, dost thou take away my soul, and turn thy face away from me? I am poor and in labor from my youth; He was lifted up, humbled, and faint. Thy wrath came upon me, Thy fears disturbed me, washed over me like water, and overpowered me all day long. You removed from me a friend and a sincere one, and those who knew me from passions.

O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer.

Psalm 102

Bless, my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards, who cleanses all your iniquities, heals all your ailments, delivers your belly from corruption, crowns you with mercy and bounties, fulfills your desire for good: your youth will be renewed like an eagle. The Lord grant alms and destiny to all those who are offended. Moses told His way to the sons of Israel His desires: The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and abundantly merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity forever, he did not create food for us because of our iniquity, but he repaid us with food because of our sin. As the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord established His mercy on those who fear Him. The east is far removed from the west, and our iniquities have been removed from us. As a father gives generously to his sons, the Lord will provide for those who fear Him. As He knew our creation, I will remember, as the dust of Esma. Man, like the grass of his days, like the flower of the field, will bloom like the spirit that has passed through him, and he will not be, and no one will know his place. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons, who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord has prepared His Throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom possesses everyone. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, to hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His Powers, His servants who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.

In every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.

Psalm 142

Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for no one living will be justified before You. As if the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to eat, he planted me to eat in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hands have lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land to You. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit has disappeared, do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, I will go the other way, because I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land. For Thy name's sake, Lord, live me, by Thy righteousness remove my soul from sorrow. And by Thy mercy consume my enemies and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Thy servant.

Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land.

Always blessing the Lord, we sing His Resurrection: having endured crucifixion, destroy death by death.

Psalm 50 (Usually not recited in parish churches)

Reader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

[From the week of the Publican and the Pharisee until the fifth week of Great Lent, on Sundays, instead "Through the prayers of the apostles..." and other penitential troparia are sung:

Glory:

P Open the doors of repentance for me, O Life-Giver, for my spirit will awaken to Your holy temple, the temple I wear is completely defiled: but as you are generous, cleanse me with Your gracious mercy.

And now:

Theotokos: Instruct me in the path of salvation, O Mother of God, because my soul has been frozen with sins, and my entire life has been spent in laziness: but through Your prayers, deliver me from all uncleanness.

P have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity.

M Thinking of the cruel things I have done, I am wretched, I tremble at the terrible day of judgment: but trusting in the mercy of Your mercy, like David, I cry to You: have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy. ]

Psalms of Praise (148 – 150)

Chorus: Let every breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from heaven, praise Him in the highest. A song to God is due to you.

X Lay down Him, all His Angels; praise Him, all His Powers. A song to God is due to you.

Reader: Psalm 148: Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars and light. Praise Him The heavens of heavens and the waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: as He spoke, and came to be, He commanded, and was created. If I put it in the age and in the age of the century, I lay down the command, and it will not go unnoticed. Praise the Lord from the earth, the serpents and all the deeps: fire, hail, snow, bareness, the stormy spirit that does His word, the mountains and all the hills, the fruitful trees and all the cedars, the beasts and all the cattle, the reptiles and the birds. Let the kings of the earth and all the people, the princes and all the judges of the earth, young men and maidens, elders and young men, praise the name of the Lord, for the name of the One has been exalted, His confession on earth and in heaven. And the horn of His people will exalt a song to all His saints, the sons of Israel, to the people who draw near to Him.

Reader: Psalm 149: Sing a new song to the Lord, His praise in the church of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in Him who made them, and let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. Let them praise His name in person, in the tympanum and psalms, and sing to Him. For the Lord delights in His people, and will lift up the meek to salvation. The saints will be praised in glory and will rejoice on their beds. The heaps of God are in their throats, and two sharp swords are in their hands: to bring vengeance on the nations, reproof on the people, to bind their kings with shackles, and their glorious hands with iron shackles.

Reader: Create judgment in them is written.

Chorus: This glory will be to all His saints.

Or all-night vigil, is a service that is performed in the evening on the eve of especially revered holidays.

It consists of the combination of Vespers with Matins and the first hour, and both Vespers and Matins are performed more solemnly and with greater illumination of the temple than on other days.

This service is called all-night vigil because in ancient times it began late in the evening and continued all night until dawn.

Then, out of condescension for the infirmities of the believers, they began to start this service a little earlier and make cuts in reading and singing, and therefore it now ends not so late. The former name of its all-night vigil has been preserved.

Vespers

Vespers in its composition recalls and depicts the times of the Old Testament: the creation of the world, the fall of the first people, their expulsion from paradise, their repentance and prayer for salvation, then, people’s hope, according to God’s promise, in the Savior and, finally, the fulfillment of this promise.

Vespers, during the all-night vigil, begins with the opening of the royal doors. The priest and deacon silently incense the altar and the entire altar, and clouds of incense smoke fill the depths of the altar. This silent censing marks the beginning of the creation of the world. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The earth was formless and empty. And the Spirit of God hovered over the primeval matter of the earth, breathing life-giving power into it. But the creative word of God had not yet been heard.

But now, the priest, standing before the throne, with the first exclamation glorifies the Creator and Creator of the world - the Most Holy Trinity: “Glory to the Holy and Consubstantial, and Life-Giving, and Indivisible Trinity, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.” Then he calls on the believers three times: “Come, let us worship our King God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God. Come, let us bow and fall down to Christ Himself, the King and our God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Him.” For “all things came into being through Him (that is, to exist, to live), and without Him nothing came into being that was made” (John 1:3).

In response to this call, the choir solemnly sings the 103rd Psalm about the creation of the world, glorifying the wisdom of God: “Bless my soul the Lord! Blessed are you, Lord! Lord, my God, you have greatly exalted yourself (i.e., greatly) ... you have created all things with wisdom. Wonderful are Your works, O Lord! Glory to You, Lord, who created everything!

During this singing, the priest leaves the altar, walks among the people and censes the entire church and those praying, and the deacon precedes him with a candle in his hand.

Everyday

This sacred rite reminds those praying not only of the creation of the world, but also of the initial, blissful, paradise life of the first people, when God Himself walked among people in paradise. The open royal doors signify that the doors of heaven were then open to all people.

But people, seduced by the devil, violated the will of God and sinned. to his the fall from grace people lost their blissful heavenly life. They were expelled from paradise - and the doors of heaven were closed to them. As a sign of this, after censing is performed in the temple and at the end of the singing of the psalm, the royal doors are closed.

The deacon leaves the altar and stands in front of the closed royal doors, like Adam once before the closed gates of heaven, and proclaims great litany:

After the great litany and the exclamation of the priest, selected verses from the first three psalms are sung:

Then the deacon exclaims small litany: “Packs and packs(more and more) Let us pray to the Lord in peace...

After the small litany, the choir cries out in verses from psalms:

While singing these verses, the deacon censes the church.

This moment of worship, starting from the closing of the royal doors, in the petitions of the great litany and in the singing of psalms, depicts the plight to which the human race was subjected after the fall of the ancestors, when along with sinfulness all kinds of needs, illnesses and suffering appeared. We cry to God: “Lord, have mercy!” We ask for peace and salvation of our souls. We lament that we listened to the wicked advice of the devil. We ask God for forgiveness of sins and deliverance from troubles, and we place all our hope in the mercy of God. The deacon's censing at this time signifies those sacrifices that were offered in the Old Testament, as well as our prayers offered to God.

They join in singing the Old Testament verses: “The Lord cried:” stichera, i.e. New Testament hymns in honor of the holiday.

The last stichera is called theotokos or dogmatist, since this stichera is sung in honor of the Mother of God and it sets out the dogma (the main teaching of the faith) about the incarnation of the Son of God from the Virgin Mary. On the twelfth holidays, instead of the Mother of God dogmatics, a special stichera is sung in honor of the holiday.

When singing the Mother of God (dogmatics), the royal doors open and evening entrance: a candle bearer comes out of the altar through the northern doors, followed by a deacon with a censer, and then a priest. The priest stands on the ambo facing the royal doors, blesses the entrance in a cross shape, and, after the deacon pronounces the words: “wisdom forgive me!”(means: listen to the wisdom of the Lord, stand straight, stay awake), he enters, together with the deacon, through the royal doors into the altar and stands in the high place.

Evening entrance

At this time, the choir sings a song to the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ: “Quiet light, holy glory of the Immortal Father, Heavenly, Holy, Blessed, Jesus Christ! Having come to the west of the sun, having seen the evening light, we sing of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, God. You are worthy at all times to be a holy voice. Son of God, give life, so the world glorifies You. (The quiet light of the holy glory, the Immortal Father in heaven, Jesus Christ! Having reached the sunset of the sun, having seen the evening light, we glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit of God. You, the Son of God, the giver of life, are worthy to be sung at all times by the voices of the saints. Therefore the world glorifies You).

In this song-hymn, the Son of God is called a quiet light from the Heavenly Father, for He came to earth not in full Divine glory, but as a quiet light of this glory. This hymn says that only through the voices of the saints (and not our sinful lips) can a song worthy of Him be offered to Him and due glorification be performed.

The evening entrance reminds believers of how the Old Testament righteous, according to the promises of God, types and prophecies, expected the coming of the Savior of the world and how He appeared in the world for the salvation of the human race.

The censer with incense at the evening entrance means that our prayers, at the intercession of the Lord Savior, ascend like incense to God, and also signifies the presence of the Holy Spirit in the temple.

The cruciform blessing of the entrance means that through the cross of the Lord the doors of heaven are again opened to us.

After the song: “Quiet Light...” is sung prokeimenon, i.e. a short verse from the Holy Scriptures. At Sunday Vespers it is sung: “The Lord reigned, having clothed himself with beauty”, and on other days other verses are sung.

At the end of the singing of the prokeimna, on major holidays they read proverbs. Proverbs are selected passages of Holy Scripture that contain prophecies or indicate prototypes related to celebrated events, or teach instructions that seem to come from the person of those holy saints whose memory we commemorate.

After the prokemna and paremia, the deacon pronounces strictly(i.e. reinforced) litany: “Let’s say, let’s say, let’s talk, start praying) with all our hearts and with all our thoughts, with all our hearts...”

Then the prayer is read: “Grant, Lord, that this evening we may be preserved without sin...”

After this prayer, the deacon pronounces a petitionary litany: “Let us fulfill (let us bring to fullness, offer in its entirety) our evening prayer to the Lord (Lord)…”

On major holidays, after a special and petitionary litany, lithium And blessing of the loaves.

Lithium, a Greek word, means general prayer. Litiya is performed in the western part of the temple, near the western entrance doors. This prayer in the ancient church was performed in the narthex, with the purpose of giving the catechumens and penitents standing here the opportunity to take part in the general prayer on the occasion of the great holiday.

Lithium

Following lithium happens blessing and consecration of the five loaves, wheat, wine and oil, also in memory of the ancient custom of distributing food to worshipers, who sometimes came from afar, so that they could refresh themselves during a long service. The five loaves are blessed in remembrance of the Savior's feeding of the five thousand with five loaves. Sanctified oil(with olive oil) the priest then, during Matins, after kissing the festive icon, anoints the worshipers.

After the litia, and if it is not performed, then after the litany of petition, “stichera on verse” are sung. This is the name given to special poems written in memory of a remembered event.

Vespers ends with the reading of the prayer of St. Simeon the God-Receiver: “Now dost thou dismiss Thy servant, O Master, according to Thy word in peace: for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people, light for the revelation of tongues, and the glory of Thy people Israel,” then by reading the Trisagion and the Lord’s Prayer : “Our Father...”, singing the Angelic greeting to the Mother of God: “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice...” or the troparion of the holiday and, finally, singing the prayer of righteous Job three times: “Blessed be the name of the Lord from now on and forever,” the final blessing of the priest: “Blessing The Lord’s grace and love for mankind be upon you always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.”

The end of Vespers is the prayer of St. Simeon the God-Receiver and the Angelic greeting to the Theotokos (Theotokos, Virgin, Rejoice) - indicate the fulfillment of God’s promise about the Savior.

Immediately after the end of Vespers, at the All-Night Vigil, the Matins reading six psalms.

Matins

The second part of the all-night vigil - Matins reminds us of New Testament times: the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ into the world for our salvation, and His glorious Resurrection.

The beginning of Matins directly points us to the Nativity of Christ. It begins with a doxology of the angels who appeared to the Bethlehem shepherds: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Then it reads six psalms, that is, six selected psalms of King David (3, 37, 62, 87, 102 and 142), which depict the sinful state of people, full of troubles and misfortunes, and fervently express the only hope people expect for God’s mercy. Worshipers listen to the Six Psalms with special concentrated reverence.

After the Six Psalms, the deacon says great litany.

Then a short song with verses is sung loudly and joyfully about the appearance of Jesus Christ in the world to people: “God is the Lord and has appeared to us, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” i.e. God is Lord, and has appeared to us, and is worthy of glorification, going to the glory of the Lord.

After this it is sung troparion, i.e. a song in honor of a holiday or celebrated saint, and are read kathismas, i.e. separate parts of the Psalter, consisting of several consecutive psalms. The reading of kathismas, as well as the reading of the Six Psalms, calls us to think about our disastrous sinful state and place all hope in the mercy and help of God. Kathisma means sitting, since one can sit while reading kathisma.

At the end of the kathismas, the deacon says small litany, and then it is done polyeleos. Polyeleos is a Greek word that means “much mercy” or “much illumination.”

Polyeleos

The polyeleos is the most solemn part of the all-night vigil and expresses the glorification of God’s mercy shown to us in the coming of the Son of God to earth and His accomplishment of the work of our salvation from the power of the devil and death.

Polyeleos begins with the solemn singing of verses of praise:

Praise the name of the Lord, praise the servants of the Lord. Hallelujah!

Blessed be the Lord of Zion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

Confess to the Lord that He is good, for His mercy endures forever. Hallelujah!

that is, glorify the Lord, because He is good, because His mercy (towards people) endures forever.

When these verses are chanted, all the lamps in the temple are lit, the royal doors are opened, and the priest, preceded by a deacon with a candle, leaves the altar and burns incense throughout the entire temple, as a sign of reverence for God and His saints.

After singing these verses, special Sunday troparia are sung on Sundays; that is, joyful songs in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, which tell how angels appeared to the myrrh-bearers who came to the tomb of the Savior and told them about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On other great holidays, instead of Sunday troparions, it is sung before the icon of the holiday grandeur, i.e. a short verse of praise in honor of a holiday or saint.

(We magnify you, Father Nicholas, and honor your holy memory, for you pray for us, Christ our God)

After the Sunday troparions, or after the magnification, the deacon recites the small litany, then the prokeimenon, and the priest reads the Gospel.

At the Sunday service the Gospel is read about the Resurrection of Christ and about the appearances of the risen Christ to His disciples, and on other holidays the Gospel is read relating to the event being celebrated or the glorification of a saint.

After reading the Gospel, a solemn hymn is sung in the Sunday service in honor of the risen Lord:

“Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship Your Cross, O Christ, and we sing and glorify Your holy resurrection: for You are our God; Do we know (except) You otherwise; we call Your name. Come, all the faithful, let us worship the Holy Resurrection of Christ. Behold, for joy has come to the whole world through the cross, always blessing the Lord, we sing His resurrection: having endured crucifixion, destroy death by death.”

The Gospel is brought to the middle of the temple, and the believers venerate it. On other holidays, believers venerate the holiday icon. The priest anoints them with blessed oil and distributes consecrated bread.

After singing: “The Resurrection of Christ: a few more short prayers are sung. Then the deacon reads the prayer: “Save, O God, Thy people”... and after the priest’s exclamation: “By mercy and bounty”... the canon begins to be sung.

Canon At Matins, a meeting of songs composed according to a certain rule is called. “Canon” is a Greek word that means “rule.”

Reading the canon

The canon is divided into nine parts (songs). The first verse of each song that is sung is called irmos, which means connection. These irmos seem to bind the entire composition of the canon into one whole. The remaining verses of each part (song) are mostly read and called troparia. The second hymn of the canon, as a penitential hymn, is performed only during Lent.

Particular efforts were made in composing these songs: St. John of Damascus, Cosmas of Mayum, Andrew of Crete (the great canon of repentance) and many others. At the same time, they were invariably guided by certain chants and prayers of sacred persons, namely: the prophet Moses (for 1 and 2 irmos), the prophetess Anna, the mother of Samuel (for the 3rd irmos), the prophet Habakkuk (for 4 irmos), the prophet Isaiah (for 5 Irmos), the prophet Jonah (for the 6th Irmos), the three youths (for the 7th and 8th Irmos) and the priest Zechariah, father of John the Baptist (for the 9th Irmos).

Before the ninth Irmos, the deacon exclaims: “Let us exalt the Mother of God and the Mother of Light in song!” and burns incense at the temple.

At this time, the choir sings the song of the Virgin Mary:

“My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior... Each verse is joined by the refrain: “The most honorable cherub and the most glorious without comparison seraphim, who without corruption gave birth to God the Word, the real Mother of God, we magnify Thee.”

At the end of the song of the Mother of God, the choir continues singing the canon (9th song).

The following can be said about the general content of the canon. Irmoses remind believers of Old Testament times and events from the history of our salvation and gradually bring our thoughts closer to the event of the Nativity of Christ. The troparia of the canon are dedicated to New Testament events and represent a series of poems or chants in honor of the Lord and the Mother of God, as well as in honor of the event being celebrated, or the saint glorified on this day.

After the canon, psalms of praise are sung - stichera on praisetech- in which all God’s creatures are called to glorify the Lord: “Let every breath praise the Lord...”

After the singing of psalms of praise there follows a great doxology. The royal doors open during the singing of the last stichera (on the Resurrection of the Theotokos) and the priest proclaims: “Glory to Thee, who showed us the light!” (In ancient times, this exclamation preceded the appearance of the solar dawn).

The choir sings a great doxology, which begins with the words:

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we bow down, we praise Thee, we thank Thee, great for the sake of Thy glory...”

In the “great doxology” we thank God for the light of day and for the gift of spiritual Light, that is, Christ the Savior, who enlightened people with His teaching - the light of truth.

The “Great Doxology” ends with the singing of the Trisagion: “Holy God...” and the troparion of the holiday.

After this, the deacon recites two litanies in a row: strictly And pleading.

Matins at the All-Night Vigil ends release- the priest, turning to those praying, says: “Christ our true God (and in Sunday service: Risen from the dead, Christ our true God...), through the prayers of His Most Pure Mother, the glorious Apostle saints... and all the saints, will have mercy and save us, for good and a lover of humanity.”

In conclusion, the choir sings a prayer that the Lord will preserve for many years the Orthodox Bishopric, the ruling bishop and all Orthodox Christians.

Immediately after this, the last part of the all-night vigil begins - first hour.

The service of the first hour consists of reading psalms and prayers, in which we ask God to “hear our voice in the morning” and correct the works of our hands throughout the day. The service of the 1st hour ends with a victorious song in honor of the Mother of God:

“To the chosen victorious Voivode, for having been delivered from the evil ones, let us sing thanks to Thy servants, the Mother of God. But as you have an invincible power, free us from all troubles, let us call You: Rejoice, unbrided Bride.”

In this song we call the Mother of God “the victorious leader against evil.” Then the priest pronounces the dismissal of the 1st hour. This ends the all-night vigil.

On the eve of great holidays and Sundays it is served all-night vigil, or, as it is also called, all-night vigil. The church day begins in the evening, and this service is directly related to the event being celebrated.

The All-Night Vigil is an ancient service; it was performed back in the first centuries of Christianity. The Lord Jesus Christ himself often prayed at night, and the apostles and the first Christians gathered for night prayer. Previously, all-night vigils were very long and, starting in the evening, continued throughout the night.

The All-Night Vigil begins with Great Vespers

In parish churches, Vespers usually begins at seventeen or eighteen o'clock. The prayers and chants of Vespers relate to the Old Testament, they prepare us for matins, which is mainly remembered New Testament events. The Old Testament is a prototype, a forerunner of the New. Old Testament people lived by faith - waiting for the Coming Messiah.

The beginning of Vespers brings our mind to the creation of the world. The priests cense the altar. It signifies the Divine grace of the Holy Spirit, which hovered during the creation of the world over the earth that had not yet been built (see: Gen. 1, 2).

Then the deacon calls the worshipers to stand before the start of the service with an exclamation "Rise up!" and asks for the priest’s blessing to begin the service. The priest, standing before the throne in the altar, utters the exclamation: “Glory to the Holy One, Consubstantial, Life-Giving and Indivisible Trinity, always, now and ever and unto ages of ages”. The choir sings: "Amen."

While singing in chorus Psalm 103, which describes the majestic picture of God’s creation of the world, the clergy censer the entire temple and those praying. The sacrifice signifies the grace of God, which our ancestors Adam and Eve had before the Fall, enjoying bliss and communion with God in paradise. After the creation of people, the doors of heaven were open to them, and as a sign of this, the royal doors are open during incense. After the Fall, people lost their pristine righteousness, distorted their nature and closed the doors of heaven to themselves. They were expelled from paradise and wept bitterly. After censing, the royal gates are closed, the deacon goes out to the pulpit and stands in front of the closed gates, just as Adam stood in front of the gates of heaven after his expulsion. When a person lived in paradise, he did not need anything; With the loss of heavenly bliss, people began to have needs and sorrows, for which we pray to God. The main thing we ask God for is forgiveness of sins. On behalf of all those praying, the deacon says peace or great litany.

After the peaceful litany there follows the singing and reading of the first kathisma: Blessed is the man like him(which) do not go to the counsel of the wicked. The path of returning to paradise is the path of striving for God and evading evil, wickedness and sins. The Old Testament righteous, who waited with faith for the Savior, maintained the true faith and avoided communicating with godless and wicked people. Even after the Fall, Adam and Eve were given the promise of the Coming Messiah, that the seed of the woman will erase the head of the serpent. And a psalm Blessed is the husband also figuratively tells about the Son of God, the Blessed Man, who committed no sin.

Next they sing stichera on “Lord, I have cried”. They alternate with verses from the Psalter. These verses also have a penitential, prayerful character. During the reading of the stichera, incense is performed throughout the temple. “May my prayer be corrected, like incense before You,” the choir sings, and we, listening to this chant, like our sinners, repent of our sins.

The last stichera is called the Theotokos or dogmatist, it is dedicated to the Mother of God. It reveals the church teaching about the incarnation of the Savior from the Virgin Mary.

Although people sinned and fell away from God, the Lord did not leave them without His help and protection throughout Old Testament history. The first people repented, which means the first hope for salvation appeared. This hope is symbolized opening of the royal gates And entrance at vespers. The priest and deacon with the censer come out of the northern side doors and, accompanied by priests, go to the royal doors. The priest blesses the entrance, and the deacon, drawing a cross with a censer, says: “Wisdom, forgive me!”- this means “stand up straight” and contains a call for attention. The choir sings a chant "Quiet Light", saying that the Lord Jesus Christ descended to earth not in greatness and glory, but in a quiet, Divine light. This chant also suggests that the time of the Savior’s birth is near.

After the deacon proclaimed verses from the psalms called prokinny, two litanies are pronounced: strictly And pleading.

If the all-night vigil is celebrated on the occasion of a major holiday, after these litanies the lithium- a sequence containing special prayer requests, at which the blessing of five wheat loaves, wine and oil (oil) takes place in memory of Christ’s miraculous feeding of five thousand people with five loaves. In ancient times, when the All-Night Vigil was served all night, the brethren needed to refresh themselves with food in order to continue performing Matins.

After the litia they sing "stichera on verse", that is, stichera with special verses. After them the choir sings a prayer “Now you let go”. These were the words spoken by the righteous saint Simeon, who waited for the Savior with faith and hope for many years and was honored to take the Infant Christ into his arms. This prayer is pronounced as if on behalf of all the Old Testament people who with faith awaited the coming of Christ the Savior.

Vespers ends with a hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary: "Virgin Mother of God, rejoice". She was the Fruit that Old Testament humanity had been growing in its depths for thousands of years. This most humble, most righteous and most pure Young Lady is the only one of all the wives who was honored to become the Mother of God. The priest ends Vespers with the exclamation: "The blessing of the Lord is upon you"- and blesses those praying.

The second part of the vigil is called Matins. It is dedicated to the recollection of New Testament events

At the beginning of Matins, six special psalms are read, which are called six psalms. It begins with the words: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” - this is the chant sung by the Angels at the birth of the Savior. The Six Psalms is dedicated to the anticipation of the coming of Christ into the world. It is an image of the Bethlehem night when Christ came into the world, and an image of the night and darkness in which all humanity was before the coming of the Savior. It is not for nothing that, according to custom, all lamps and candles are extinguished during the reading of the Six Psalms. The priest in the middle of the Six Psalms in front of the closed royal doors reads special morning prayers.

Next, a peaceful litany is performed, and after it the deacon loudly proclaims: “God is the Lord, and appear to us. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.". Which means: “God and the Lord appeared to us,” that is, he came into the world, the Old Testament prophecies about the coming of the Messiah were fulfilled. Reading follows kathisma from the Psalter.

After the reading of the kathisma, the most solemn part of Matins begins - polyeleos. Polyeleos translated from Greek as mercifully, because during polyeleos verses of praise are sung from Psalms 134 and 135, where the multitude of God’s mercy is sung as a constant refrain: for His mercy endures forever! According to the consonance of words polyeleos sometimes translated as abundance of oil, oil. Oil has always been a symbol of God's mercy. During Great Lent, the 136th psalm (“On the rivers of Babylon”) is added to the polyeleos psalms. During the polyeleos, the royal doors are opened, the lamps in the temple are lit, and the clergy, leaving the altar, perform full incense on the entire temple. During censing, Sunday troparia are sung "Angelic Cathedral", telling about the resurrection of Christ. At all-night vigils before the holidays, instead of Sunday troparions, they sing the glorification of the holiday.

Next they read the Gospel. If they serve the all-night vigil on Sunday, they read one of the eleven Sunday Gospels, dedicated to the resurrection of Christ and His appearance to the disciples. If the service is dedicated not to the resurrection, but to a holiday, the holiday Gospel is read.

After the reading of the Gospel at Sunday all-night vigils, hymns are sung “Having seen the Resurrection of Christ”.

Those praying venerate the Gospel (on the holiday - to the icon), and the priest anoints their forehead with consecrated oil in the shape of a cross.

This is not a Sacrament, but a sacred rite of the Church, serving as a sign of God’s mercy towards us. Since the most ancient, biblical times, oil has been a symbol of joy and a sign of God’s blessing, and the righteous person, on whom the favor of the Lord rests, is compared with the olive, from the fruits of which oil is obtained: But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God, and I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.(Ps 51:10). The dove released from the ark by the patriarch Noah returned in the evening and brought a fresh olive leaf in its mouth, and Noah learned that the water had gone down from the earth (see: Gen. 8:11). This was a sign of reconciliation with God.

After the priest’s exclamation: “By mercy, generosity and philanthropy...” - the reading begins canon.

Canon- a prayer work that tells about the life and deeds of the saint and glorifies the celebrated event. The canon consists of nine songs, each beginning Irmosom- a chant sung by a choir.

Before the ninth hymn of the canon, the deacon, having bowed to the altar, exclaims before the image of the Mother of God (to the left of the royal doors): “Let us exalt the Virgin Mary and Mother of Light in song”. The choir begins to sing a chant “My soul magnifies the Lord...”. This is a touching prayer-song composed by the Holy Virgin Mary (see: Lk 1, 46-55). A chorus is added to each verse: “The most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who without corruption gave birth to God the Word, we magnify Thee as the real Mother of God.”

After the canon, the choir sings psalms "Praise the Lord from heaven", “Sing a new song to the Lord”(Ps 149) and "Praise God among His saints"(Ps. 150) along with “praise stichera.” At the Sunday all-night vigil, these stichera end with a hymn dedicated to the Mother of God: “Most blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary...” After this, the priest proclaims: “Glory to You, who showed us the Light,” and begins great doxology. The All-Night Vigil in ancient times, lasting all night, covered the early morning, and during Matins the first morning rays of the sun actually appeared, reminding us of the Sun of Truth - Christ the Savior. The doxology begins with the words: "Gloria..." Matins began with these words and ends with these same words. At the end, the entire Holy Trinity is glorified: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.”

Matins ends strictly And petitionary litanies, after which the priest pronounces the final vacation.

After the all-night vigil, a short service is served, which is called the first hour.

Watch- this is a service that sanctifies a certain time of the day, but according to established tradition they are usually attached to long services - matins and liturgy. The first hour corresponds to our seven o'clock in the morning. This service sanctifies the coming day with prayer.

I don't think it's worth explaining.

In the link to the diagram it is explained in detail how the opening psalm should be performed, it is said that it is taken from Irmology. In our case, it is not in Irmology (apparently there is an error in the diagram, or I don’t know Irmology that well), but it is in the Book of Hours on page 147.

I repeat, the Scheme describes the statutory procedure for performing the psalm, but in the parish tradition we limit ourselves to those verses of the psalm that are given in the music collections from which we sing.

Everything is clear here. We open the notes and sing for each petition: "Lord have mercy" , - listening carefully so as not to miss the request "Most Holy, Most Pure...", - to which we must answer: "To you, Lord" Well, let’s not forget about the priest’s exclamation at the end of the litany, to which we respond: "Amen"

4. Now it’s time to look into "Divine servicesinstructions"(hereinafter referred to as BU).

- and the Apostle, tone 1 - 6 (each stichera - twice). This means that you need to read stichera dedicated to the saint, whose celebration takes place on the date of the month. Texts of services tied to specific dates of a particular month are given in Menaiah. We need a day of remembrance of St. ap. and ev. John the Theologian. We look at the date according to the old style. September 26. We need Minea September. We open it on page 731, we see: “On Small Vespers,” we remember that the All-Night Vigil begins with Great Vespers, which means we turn the page to 732. And below we find what we need: 3 stichera, which we insert (twice) after the verses , starting from “to 6”. We see how this turned out in the finished sequence (the link is above).

- “Glory” - the apostle, voice 2: “Son of Thunder...”. It's clear here. The stichera (usually called the “Slavnik”) is taken from the Menaion and performed after the singing (reading) of “Glory:” (Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)

- “And now” - dogmatist, tone 8: “King of Heaven...” Dogmatist is a Sunday hymn glorifying the Mother of God. Always performed on the voice of the week. The dogmatists are written in the Octoechos at the end of the corpus of stichera “in the Lord, I cried”

Yes, it must also be said that in common parish practice, after the two initial chants (Lord, I cried... and May He be corrected...) they immediately proceed to the singing (reading) of the verse, from which the performance of the stichera begins.

In detail: the continuation of the all-night vigil and liturgy text - from all open sources and different parts of the world on the site for our dear readers.

Creed

1I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. 2And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. 3 For our sake, man, and for our salvation, he came down from Heaven, and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. 4 He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. resurrected on the third day according to Scripture. 6And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. 7 And the one who is to come will judge the living and the dead with glory; His Kingdom will have no end. 8 And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who is with the Father and the Son, is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. 9Into one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. 10I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins. 11 I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, 12 and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Psalm 33

( During Easter week, “Christ is Risen...” is sung many times. )

Chorus: I will bless the Lord at all times,/ I will make His praise in my mouth. My soul will glory in the Lord./Let the meek ones hear and rejoice. Magnify the Lord with me, / and let us exalt His Name together. Seek the Lord, and hear me,/ and deliver me from all my sorrows. Come to Him and be enlightened,/ and your faces will not be ashamed. This beggar cried out, and the Lord heard and,/ and saved him from all his sorrows. The angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear Him,/ and will deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is good;/ blessed is the man who trusts in Nan. Fear the Lord, all His holy ones, for there is no hardship for those who fear Him. With riches you become poor and hungry: but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good. Come, children, listen to me, / I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is a man, even if he loves his life, / loves the days and sees good things? Keep your tongue from evil, / and keep your lips from speaking flattery. Turn away from evil, and do good, / seek peace, and marry, and. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous/ and His ears are upon their prayer. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, / to consume their memory from the earth. The righteous cried out, and the Lord heard them, and delivered them from all their sorrows. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and will save the humble in spirit. Many are the sorrows of the righteous, and the Lord will deliver me from all of them. The Lord protects all their bones, not one of them will be broken. The death of sinners is cruel, and those who hate the righteous will sin. The Lord will deliver the souls of His servant, and all who trust in Him will not sin.

Priest: The blessing of the Lord is upon you. By grace and love for mankind, always, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Chorus:Amen.

Psalm 3

Lord, why have you multiplied the cold? Many people rise up against me, many people say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But You, Lord, are my Protector, my glory, and lift up my head. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of the people around me who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck down all those who are at enmity with me in vain: You have crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is the Lord's, and Your blessing is upon Your people.

I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me.

Psalm 37

Lord, do not reprove me with Your wrath; do not punish me with Your wrath. As Thy arrows have struck me, and Thou hast strengthened Thy hand upon me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath, there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden is heavy upon me. My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. I suffered and sloshed to the end, walking around complaining all day. For my body is filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I would become embittered and humbled to death, roaring from the sighing of my heart. Lord, before You all my desire and my sighing are not hidden from You. My heart is confused, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes has left me, and that one is not with me. My friends and my sincere ones have come close to me and stasha, and my neighbors are far away from me, stasha and needy, seeking my soul, and seeking evil to me, speaking vainly and being flattered all day long. As if I were deaf and did not hear, and because I was dumb and did not open my mouth. And as a man he would not hear, nor would he have reproach in his mouth. For in You, O Lord, I have trusted; You will hear, O Lord my God. As if he said: “Let my enemies never make me happy; and never can my feet move, but you speak against me.” As if I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity and take care of my sin. My enemies live and have become stronger than me, and those who hate me without truth have multiplied. Those who reward me with evil, repaying the slander of me, persecute the goodness. Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Psalm 62

God, my God, I have come to You in the morning; my soul has thirsted for You, since my flesh is a multitude of You, in a land that is empty and impenetrable and without water. Thus I appeared to You in the Holy One, to see Your power and Your glory. For Thy mercy is better than belly, praise Thee with my lips. Thus I will bless You in my belly, I will lift up my hands in Your name. For my soul may be filled with fatness and ointment, and my lips will praise You with joy. When I remembered Ty on my bed, I learned from Ty in the morning. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand. They, having sought my soul in vain, will enter the underworld of the earth, surrender into the hands of weapons, and will be part of the fox. The king will rejoice in God, everyone who swears by Him will boast, for the lips of those who speak unrighteously have been stopped.

We studied in the morning in Tya. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand.

Glory: and Now:

Lord have mercy (3 times).

Psalm 87

O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer, for my soul is filled with evil, and my belly is drawing near to hell. He was used with those who descended into the pit, like a man without help, in the dead there was freedom, like ulcers sleeping in the tomb, whom You did not remember, and they were rejected from Your hand. Placing me in the pit of hell, in the dark and shadow of death. Thy wrath was established upon me, and all Thy waves were brought upon me. You removed those who knew me from me, making me an abomination to yourself: I was betrayed and never left. My eyes are exhausted from poverty, I have cried out to You, O Lord, all day long, I have lifted up my hands to You. Eating dead people work wonders? Or will the doctors resurrect and confess to You? Who is the story of Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in destruction? Will Thy wonders be known in darkness, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? And I cried to You, Lord, and my morning prayer will precede You. Why, O Lord, dost thou take away my soul, and turn thy face away from me? I am poor and in labor from my youth; He was lifted up, humbled, and faint. Thy wrath came upon me, Thy fears disturbed me, washed over me like water, and overpowered me all day long. You removed from me a friend and a sincere one, and those who knew me from passions.

O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer.

Psalm 102

Bless, my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards, who cleanses all your iniquities, heals all your ailments, delivers your belly from corruption, crowns you with mercy and bounties, fulfills your desire for good: your youth will be renewed like an eagle. The Lord grant alms and destiny to all those who are offended. Moses told His way to the sons of Israel His desires: The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and abundantly merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity forever, he did not create food for us because of our iniquity, but he repaid us with food because of our sin. As the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord established His mercy on those who fear Him. The east is far removed from the west, and our iniquities have been removed from us. As a father gives generously to his sons, the Lord will provide for those who fear Him. As He knew our creation, I will remember, as the dust of Esma. Man, like the grass of his days, like the flower of the field, will bloom like the spirit that has passed through him, and he will not be, and no one will know his place. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons, who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord has prepared His Throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom possesses everyone. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, to hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His Powers, His servants who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.

In every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.

Psalm 142

Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for no one living will be justified before You. As if the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to eat, he planted me to eat in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hands have lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land to You. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit has disappeared, do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, I will go the other way, because I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land. For Thy name's sake, Lord, live me, by Thy righteousness remove my soul from sorrow. And by Thy mercy consume my enemies and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Thy servant.

Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land.

Psalm 50 (usually not read in parish churches)

Reader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Psalms of Praise (148 – 150)

Chorus: Let every breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from heaven, praise Him in the highest. A song to God is due to you.

X Lay down Him, all His Angels; praise Him, all His Powers. A song to God is due to you.

Reader: Psalm 148: Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars and light. Praise Him The heavens of heavens and the waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: as He spoke, and came to be, He commanded, and was created. If I put it in the age and in the age of the century, I lay down the command, and it will not go unnoticed. Praise the Lord from the earth, the serpents and all the deeps: fire, hail, snow, bareness, the stormy spirit that does His word, the mountains and all the hills, the fruitful trees and all the cedars, the beasts and all the cattle, the reptiles and the birds. Let the kings of the earth and all the people, the princes and all the judges of the earth, young men and maidens, elders and young men, praise the name of the Lord, for the name of the One has been exalted, His confession on earth and in heaven. And the horn of His people will exalt a song to all His saints, the sons of Israel, to the people who draw near to Him.

Reader: Psalm 149: Sing a new song to the Lord, His praise in the church of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in Him who made them, and let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. Let them praise His name in person, in the tympanum and psalms, and sing to Him. For the Lord delights in His people, and will lift up the meek to salvation. The saints will be praised in glory and will rejoice on their beds. The heaps of God are in their throats, and two sharp swords are in their hands: to bring vengeance on the nations, reproof on the people, to bind their kings with shackles, and their glorious hands with iron shackles.

Reader: Create judgment in them is written.

Chorus: This glory will be to all His saints.
