Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me!
I now turn to you, angels, archangels, and all the heavenly host who
stand by the throne of God: pray to your Creator that He deliver my soul
from eternal torments.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me!
I now weep before you, holy patriarchs, kings and prophets, apostles and
hierarchs, and all the elect of Christ: help me at the Judgment, that my
soul be saved from the strength of the Enemy.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me!
I now lift up my hands to you, holy martyrs, desert-dwellers, virgins,
righteous ones, and all saints who pray to the Lord for the whole world:
may He have mercy on me at the hour of my death.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Help me, Mother of God, for I have great hope in you! Pray to your Son,
that when He sits to judge the living and the dead, He may place me at
His right hand, even though I am unworthy.
