Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text Слава в вышних Богу, и на земли мир, в человецех благоволение. Хвалим Тя, благословим Тя, кланяем Ти ся, славословим Тя, благодарим Тя, великия ради славы Твоея. Господи Царю Небесный, Боже Отче Вседержителю, Господи, Сыне Единородный, Иисусе Христе, и Святый Душе. Господи Боже, Агнче Божий, Сыне Отечь, вземляй грехи мира, помилуй нас; вземляй грехи мира, прийми молитву нашу, Седяй одесную Отца, помилуй нас. Яко Ты еси един Свят, Ты еси един, Иисус Христос, в славу Бога Отца. Аминь. На всяк день благословлю Тя и восхвалю имя Твое во веки и в век века. Сподоби, Господи, в день сей без греха сохранитися нам. Слодоби, Господи, в день сей сохранитися нам. Благословен еси, Господи, Боже Отец нашихи хвально и прославлено имя Твое во веки, Аминь. Буди, Господи, милость, Твоя на нас, якоже уповахом на Тя. Помилуй мя. Исцели душу мою. Благословен еси, Господи, научи мя оправданием Твоим. К Тебе прибегох. Господи, прибежище был еси нам в род и род. Азрех: Господи, помилуй мя, исцели душу мою, яко согреших Тебе. Господи, помилуй мя творити волю Твою, яко Ты еси Бог мой: яко у Тебе источник живота, во свете Твоем узрим свет. Пробави милость Твою ведущим Тя. Святый Боже, Святый Крепкий, Святый Безсмертный, помилуй нас. Слава Отцу и Сыну и Святому Духу, и ныне и присно и во веки веков, Аминь.
