Lord our God, save [us] and have mercy. Pr[iest]: In the midst of this temple and before the God-receiving [holy signs]... I will go in before the altar of God, unto God who maketh glad my youth. D[eacon]: Judge me, O God, and plead my cause in my judgment; deliver me from an unholy nation, from the deceitful [and] iniquitous man. Thou, O God, art my strengthener; why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning while the enemy afflicteth [me]? Send forth, O Lord, thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me and bring me unto thy holy mountain and unto thy tabernacles. I will go in before the altar of God, unto God who maketh glad my youth. I will give thanks unto thee with praise, O God, my God. Now, why art thou sorrowful, O my soul, or why dost thou disquiet me? Hope in God, give thanks unto him: the savior of my countenance is God. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. D[eacon]: Now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen. Let us bless God Almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...
