Divine Liturgy of St Basil- The Second Antiphon - 13 -
The Lord preserveth the proselytes./
He shall adopt for His own the orphan and widow,/
and the way of sinners shall He destroy./
The Lord shall be king unto eternity;/
thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O Only-begotten Son and Word of God, Who art immortal,/
yet didst deign for our salvation/
to be incarnate of the holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary,/
and without change didst become man,/
and wast crucified, O Christ God, trampling down death by
death,/
Thou Who art one of the Holy Trinity,/
glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.
