Bread in the Temple of the Lord,
Thou hast brought forth unto the

the Bride of God the Father.
Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;
praise Him with loud cymbals. Let

Let the Gate of the Temple wherein God
Dwells be opened; for Joachim

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Thy Wrath,
nor chasten me in Thine Anger!
For Thine arrows pierce me deeply and
Thy Hand rests upon me.
There is no healing in my flesh because
of Thy Wrath, nor any Peace in my
bones because of my sins.

For my transgressions rise up over my
head - like a heavy burden they press
me down.
My wounds grow foul and fester
because of My foolishness.
I suffer misery, and I am utterly bowed
down all day long I mourn, for my
loins are filled with mockeries, and
there is no healing in my flesh.

I am afflicted and great humbled; I roar
because of the groaning of my heart.

O Lord, all my desire is before Thee
and My sighing is not hidden from
Thee.
My heart is troubled my strength fails
me, and even the light of my eyes
has failed me.
My friends and neighbours who draw
near stand against me, and my
family stands afar off.
And those who seek my soul use
violence, and those who seek evil for
me speak foolishness, and they plan
deception all day long.
I, like a deaf man, do not hear and I
am like a mute who does not open
his mouth.
And I am like a man who does not hear
and who has no reproofs in his
mouth.
For in Thee, O Lord, I hope - Thou will
hear, O Lord my God.
For I said: Let not my enemies rejoice
over me, for when my foot slips, they
boasted against me.

My enemies live, and have become
stronger than Me and those who
hate Me unjustly are multiplied;
those who repaid me evil for good
slandered Me because I pursue
Righteousness.

Incline Thine Ear to my Supplication,
O Lord, for my soul is filled with
sorrows, and my life draws near to
Hades.
I am counted among those who go down
to the Pit - I am like a helpless man,
free among the dead - like slain men
thrown down and sleeping in a tomb,
whom Thou Remembers no more,
and who are removed from Thy
Hand.
They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark
places and in the Shadow of Death.
Thy Wrath rested upon me, and Thou
brought all Thy Billows over me.

Thou removed my acquaintances far
from me; they made me an
abomination among themselves I
was betrayed, and did not escape.
My eyes have weakened from poverty.
and I cry to Thee, O Lord - all day
long I stretch out my hands to Thee.

Will Thou work Wonders for the dead?
Or will Physicians raise them up, and
acknowledge Thee?

Angels and men: let us honour the
Entry of the Virgin, for in Glory She
has gone into the Holy of Holies.

He does not deal with us according to
our sins, nor rewards us accoding to
our transgressions, for according to
the height of Heaven from earth, so
the Lord reigns in Mercy over those
who Fear Him as far as the East is
from the West, so does He remove
our transgressions from us!

As a father has compassion for his
children, so does our Lord have
Compassion on those who Fear Him,
for He knows how He formed us
He remembers that we are clay.
As for mankind his days are like grass
- like a flower of the field he
flourishes; for the wind passes over
it, and it shall not remain and it
shall no longer know its place.
Yet the Mercy of the Lord is from Ages
to Ages upon those who Fear Him.

And His Righteousness is upon
childrens children to those who
keep His Covenant and remember
His Commandments to obey them.
The Lord prepared His Throne in
Heaven and His Kingdom rules over
all.
Bless the Lord, all you His Angels
Mighty in Strength who do His
Word - who heed the Voice of His
Words.
Bless the Lord, all you His Hosts His
Ministers who do His Will.

To the Son Who was Begotten of the
Father without change before all
ages, and in the Last Times, without
seed, became Flesh of the Virgin: to
Christ our God let us cry aloud:
Thou hast raised up our horn! Holy
art Thou, O Lord!
Rod of the Root of Jesse, and Flower
that blossomed from his stem, O
Christ, Thou hast sprung from the
Virgin. From the Mountain
overshadowed by the Forest Thou
hast come, made Flesh from her that
knew not wedlock, O God Who art
not formed from matter. Glory to
Thy Power, O Lord!
As Thou art God of Peace and Father of
Mercies, Thou hast sent to us Thine
Angel of Great Counsel, granting us
Peace. So are we guided towards the
Light of the Knowledge of God, and,
watching by night, we Glorify Thee,
O Lover of mankind!
The sea monster spat forth Jonah as it
had received him - like a babe from
the womb - while the Word, having
dwelt in the Virgin and taken Flesh,
came forth from Her yet kept Her
uncorrupted. For being Himself not
subject to decay, He preserved His
Mother free from harm.

Children brought up together in

humbled my life to the ground, he
caused me to dwell in dark places
like one who was long dead.
And my spirit was in anguish within me
- my heart was troubled within.
I remembered the days of old, and I
meditated on all Thy Works I
meditated on the Works of Thy
Hands.
I stretch out my hands to Thee my
soul thirsts for Thee like a waterless
land. (PAUSE)
Hear me speedily, O Lord my spirit
faints within me.
Turn not Thy Sight from me, lest I
become like those who go down into
the Pit.
Cause me to hear Thy Mercy in the
morning, for I hope in Thee.
Make me know, O Lord, the Way
wherein I should walk, for to Thee I
lift up my soul.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord,
for to Thee I flee for Refuge.
Teach me to do Thy Will, for Thou art
my God.
Thy Good Spirit shall Guide me in
Uprightness.
For Thy Names sake O Lord, grant me
Life.
In Thy Righteousness Thou shall bring
my soul out of affliction and in Thy
Mercy Thou shall destroy my
enemies and Thou shall utterly
destroy all who afflict my soul, for I
am Thy servant.
O Lord hear my Prayer; hear my
Supplication in Thy Truth - answer
me in Thy Righteousness.

And do not enter into Judgement with
Thy servant, for in Thy Sight no-
one living is Righteous.

PRIEST In those days Mary arose and went
in haste to the hill country, to a city
of Judah, and she entered the house
of Zachariah and greeted Elizabeth.
And when Elizabeth heard the greeting
of Mary, the babe leaped in her
womb;
And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud
cry: Blessed art Thou among women,
and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb!
And why is this granted to me, that
the Mother of my Lord should come
to me?
For behold, when the voice of Thy
greeting came to my ears, the babe in
my womb leaped for Joy.
And Blessed is she who believed, for
there would be a fulfilment of what
was spoken to her from the Lord.
And Mary said: My soul magnifies the
Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God
my Saviour, for He has regarded the
lowly estate of His handmaiden.
