547

[Thou] hast made the Most High thy refuge, that evils shall not approach thee, and plagues shall not draw near thy dwelling. For He hath given His angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. In their arms they shall bear thee up, lest thou ever dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the viper, and trample under foot the lion and the dragon. Because he hath hoped in Me, I will deliver him; I will be a shelter unto him, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will hear him; and I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and glorify him; with length of days will I satisfy [him], and show him My salvation. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, [and to the Holy Spirit]. Now and always, and [unto the ages of ages. Amen].

*KʿAROZ* [BIDDING LITANY]

Again in peace let us beseech the Lord. Let us ask in faith from the Father for the expiation of sins and the remission of transgressions, for our deliverance from afflictions and tribulations, [and] for the mercy and compassion of the Lord God Almighty to descend upon us. Save [us] and have mercy.
