Song 6.
Eirmos:
I cried with my whole heart to the merciful God,
and He heard me from the lowest hell and raised my
life out of corruption
.
Refrain:
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.
Troparia:
I sincerely offer Thee with a pure intention, O Savior, the
tears of my eyes and groans from the depths of my heart,
crying: O God, I have sinned against Thee; be merciful to
me.
(Luke 18:13)
You, my soul, have revolted from the Lord like Dathan and
Abiram. But with all your heart cry, "Spare!", that a yawning
gulf of the earth may not swallow you.
(Numbers 16)
Like a stampeding heifer stung to madness, my soul, you
have resembled Ephraim. Winged with action, resolve and
contemplation, save your life like a gazelle from the noose.
(Hosea 4:16)
Let Moses' hand assure us, my soul, how God can whiten
and cleanse a leprous life. So do not despair of yourself,
even though you are leprous.
(Exodus 4:6-8)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
I am the Trinity, simple and undivided, divided
Personally, and I am the Unity, united in nature, says the
Father, the Son, and the Divine Spirit.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
