Psalm 53
Save me, O God, in your name and in your power judge me. O God, hear my prayer, give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers rose up against me, the powerful sought after my soul, they have not set God before them. For behold, God is my helper, the Lord is protector of my soul, he will bring evil upon my enemies. Utterly destroy them in your truth. Willingly I will sacrifice to you, I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. You have rescued me from all my afflictions and my eye has looked down on upon my enemies.
Psalm 54
Give ear, O God, to my prayer, do not disdain my supplication, attend to me and hear me. I was depressed in my prayer and troubled by the enemy’s voice, by the sinner’s oppression, for they turned their iniquity upon me, in wrath they raged against me. My heard was troubled within me, the terror of death has fallen on me. Fear and trembling have come upon me, the darkness has covered me. I said: who will give me wings like a dove, that I may flay away and be at rest? See how far away I have fled, I have dwelt in the wilderness. I was awaiting my savior from faintheartedness and tempest. Drown them in the depths, O Lord, and confuse their tongues, for I have seen iniquity and strife in the city. Day and night it shall surround her, even to her walls, iniquity and toil and unrighteousness are in her midst and usury and deceit have not departed from her streets. For if an enemy had reviled me I would have borne it, if one hating me had bragged against me I would have hidden from him. But it was you, a man my equal, my guide and my acquaintance, you that made sweet the meals we shared; in God’s house we walking in one mind. Let death come upon them, let them go down alive into hell, for wickedness is in their dwellings, in the very midst of them. As for me I have cried out to God and the Lord has heard me. Evening and morning and midday I shall tell and proclaim of it, and he shall hear my voice. He will redeem my soul in peace from those closing round me, for in many ways they have pressed me. God will hear and humble them, he who exists before all the ages, for there is no ransom for them, because they have not feared God. He has stretched forth his hand in retribution, they have defiled his covenant. They were scattered by the wrath of his countenance, yet his heart drew near; their words were smoother than oil, yet they were drawn swords. Cast your cares on the Lord and he shall sustain you, he will never permit the righteous to be shaken. But you, O God, will bring them down inot the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live even half their days. As for me, O Lord, I shall hope on you.
Psalm 90
He that lives in the help of the Most High shall abide in the shelter of Heaven’s God, and shall say: You are my helper and refuge, O, my God, I put all my hope in him, He shall free me from hunters’ snares, from every terrifying word. His shoulders shall bend down over you, under his wings shall you have hope, his truth a shield surrounding you. You shall not fear the night’s terror nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the thing moving in the darkness nor the midday demon of catastrophe. A thousand shall fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. But with your eyes shall you comprehend, you shall see the rewards of sinners. For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have made the Most High your refuge. No evils shall come close to you, nor any scourge draw near your home, for he shall put his angels over you, to guard you on all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon asp and basilisk, you shall trample the lion and the dragon. Because he has set his hope in me, I will deliver him, and I will shelter him, because he has come to know my name. He shall call out to me and I shall hear, in affliction I am with him, I shall lift him up and glorify him, and with length of days I will satisfy him, I will show him my salvation.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and forever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

O virgin Theotokos, because of our many sins we have no boldness ourselves. We beg you to pray to he who was born of you: a Mother’s plea for kindness is greatly powerful before our Master. Do not despise the supplications of sinners, O all-holy, for he is merciful, and able to save, he who even accepted to suffer for us.
Help us, O God our savior, for the glory of your name, and deliver us, O Lord, being gracious to our sins for your name’s sake.

Lord have mercy. (40x)
O good God, so very rich in patience and mercy, who are adored and praised at all times and at evey moment in heaven and on earth! You love the just and spare the sinner, inviting all to salvation with the promise of the good things to come! O Lord, accept our prayer at this time, and direct our lives according to your commandments. Sanctify our souls and bodies. Set straight our reasoning, purify and sober our understanding, and deliver us from every affliction, from every evil and illness. Surround us with your holy angels as with a rampart, that, guided and protected by their defense, we may reach unity in faith and the knowledge of your inaccessible glory. For blessed are you unto ages of ages. Amen.

Through the prayers of our holy fathers and mothers, O Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us! Amen.
God, Lord of Hosts and Author of all creation, in the tenderhearted compassion of Your incomparable mercy you sent down Your Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for the redemption of our race. By His precious Cross he destroyed the handwriting of our sins, and triumphed over the princes and powers of darkness. Lord, Who loves us, accept these thanksgivings and prayers from us sinners and deliver us from every dark and deadly transgression, and from all enemies, both visible and invisible, who seek to do us harm. Nail our flesh with the fear of You, and incline not our hearts to evil words or thoughts, but wound our souls with Your love, so that ever looking to You, being guided by Your light and beholding You, the unapproachable and everlasting light, we may ascribe to You unceasing praise and thanksgiving; to the Father Who has no beginning, together with Your Only-begotten Son, and Your all holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
