PSALM 5

Reader: Unto my words, give ear, O Lord; hear my cry. Attend unto the voice of my supplication, O my King and my God; for unto Thee will I pray, O Lord. In the morning Thou shalt hear my voice. In the morning shall I stand before Thee, and Thou shalt look upon me; for not a God that willest iniquity art Thou. He that worketh evil shall not dwell near Thee, nor shall transgressors abide before Thine eyes. Thou hast hated all them that work iniquity; Thou shalt destroy all them that speak a lie.

A man that is bloody and deceitful shall the Lord abhor. But as for me, in the multitude of Thy mercy shall I go into Thy house; I shall worship toward Thy holy temple in fear of Thee. O Lord, guide me in the way of Thy righteousness; because of mine enemies, make straight my way before Thee. For in their mouth there is no truth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulcher, with their tongues have they spokendeceitfully; judge them, O God. Let them fall down on account of their own devisings; according to the multitude of their ungodliness, cast them out, for they have embittered Thee, O Lord. And let all them be glad that hope in Thee; they shall ever rejoice, and Thou shalt dwell among them. And all shall glory in Thee that love Thy Name, for Thou
shalt bless the righteous. O Lord, as with a shield of Thy good pleasure hast Thou crowned us.

Psalm 89

Reader: Lord, Thou hast been our refuge in generation and generation. Before the mountains came to be and the earth was formed and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting Thou art. Turn not man away unto lowliness; yea, Thou hast said: Turn back, ye sons of men. For a thousand years in Thine eyes, O Lord, are but as yesterday that is past, and as a watch in the night. Things of no account shall their years be; in the morning like grass shall man pass away. In the morning shall he bloom and pass away, in the evening shall he fall and grow withered and dry. For we have fainted away in Thy wrath, and in Thine anger have we been troubled. Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee; our lifespan is in the light of Thy countenance. For all our days are faded away, and in Thy wrath are we fainted away; our years have, like a spider, spun out their tale. As for the days of our years, in their span they be threescore years and ten. And if we be in strength, mayhap fourscore years; and what is more than these is toil and travail. For mildness is come upon us, and we shall be chastened. Who knoweth the might of Thy wrath? And out of fear of Thee, who can recount Thine anger? So make Thy right hand known to me, and to them that in their heart are instructed in wisdom. Return, O Lord; how long? And be Thou entreated concerning Thy servants. We were filled in the morning with Thy mercy, O Lord,and we rejoiced and were glad. In all our days, let us be glad for the days wherein Thou didst humble us, for the years wherein we saw evils. And look upon Thy servants, and upon Thy works, and do Thou guide their sons. And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us, and the works of our hands do Thou guide aright upon us, yea, the work of our hands do Thou guide aright.

PSALM 100

Reader: Of mercy and judgement will I sing unto Thee, O Lord; I will chant and have understanding in a blameless path. When wilt Thou come unto me? I have walked in the innocence of my heart in the midst of my house. I have no unlawful thing before mine eyes; the workers of transgressions I have hated. A crooked heart hath not cleaved unto me; as for the wicked man who turned from me, I knew him not. Him that privily talked against his neighbour did I drive away from me. With him whose eye was proud and his heart insatiate, I did not eat. Mine eyes were upon the faithful of the land, that they might sit with me; the man that walked in the blameless path, he ministered unto me. The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the speaker of unjust things prospered not before mine eyes. In the morning I slew all the sinners of the land, utterly to destroy out of the city of the Lord all them that work iniquity.

At the conclusion of the reading from the Psalter, the reader says:

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God
Alleluia, alleluia, alleuia. Glory to Thee, O God.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Glory to Thee, O God,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

TROPARION OF THE DAY
Special Troparion are sung on feast days and special saints days, or one
of the following, according to the day of the week.

MONDAY (Tone 4) - To the Holy Angels
O ye foremost of the heavenly hosts, we, though unworthy,
beseech you that by your petitions ye would encompass us
with the shadow of your immaterial glory, preserving us who
kneel and cry ceaselessly. Deliver us from oppressions since
ye are the princes of the ranks of dominions on high.

TUESDAY (Tone 2) - To the Forerunner, John the Baptist
The memory of the righteous is celebrated with songs of
praise, but the Lord’s testimony is sufficient for thee, O
Forerunner. Thou wast shown indeed to be the most
honorable of the prophets, for in the waters thou didst baptize
Him who had been proclaimed. After suffering with joy on
behalf of the truth, thou didst proclaim even to those in
Hades the God who appeared in the flesh, who taketh away
the sins of the world and granteth us great mercy.
The Hours - Layperson 5 2010

WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY (Tone 1) – For the Cross

Savior, plead with Him for our sake, for He is good, to save
our souls.

Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Theotokion and Psalm Verses of the Hour
What shall we call thee, O thou who art full of grace?
Heaven, for from thee shone forth the Sun of righteousness;
Paradise, for thou hast budded forth the flower of
immortality; Pure Mother, for thou hast held in thy holy
embrace a Son, who is God of all. Beseech thou Him to save
our souls.

My steps do thou direct according to Thy saying, and so let
no iniquity have dominion over me. (twice) Deliver me from
the false accusation of men, and I will keep Thy
commandments. (twice) Make thy face to shine upon Thy
servant, and teach me Thy statutes. (twice)
Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise, O Lord, that I may
hymn Thy glory and Thy majesty all the day long. (thrice)

the just and showest mercy to sinners; Who callest all men to
salvation through the promise of good things to come: Do
Thou, the same Lord, receive also our supplications at this
present hour, and direct our lives according to Thy
commandments. Sanctify our souls; purify our bodies; set
aright our minds; cleanse our thoughts; deliver us from all
calamity, wrath, and distress. Compass us round about with

may attain unto the unity of the Faith, and to the

unto ages of ages. Amen.

Lord, have mercy. (THRICE)

PSALM 16

READER: Hearken, O Lord, unto my righteousness, attend unto my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which cometh not from deceitful lips. From before Thy face let my judgment come forth, let mine eyes behold uprightness. Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night, Thou hast tried me by fire, and unrighteousness was not found in me. That my mouth might not speak of the works of men, for the sake of the words of Thy lips have I kept the ways that are hard. Set my
footsteps in Thy paths, that my steps may not be shaken. I have cried for Thou hast hearkened unto me, O God. Incline Thine ear unto me, and hearken unto my words. Let Thy mercies be made wonderful, O Thou that savest them that hope in Thee. From them that have resisted Thy right hand, keep me, O Lord, as the apple of Thine eye. In the shelter of Thy wings wilt Thou shelter me, from the face of the ungodly which have oppressed me. Mine enemies have surrounded my soul, they have enclosed themselves with their own fat, their mouth hath spoken pride. They that cast me out have now encircled me, they have set their eyes to look askance on the earth. They have taken me as might a lion ready for his prey, and as might a lion's whelp that dwelleth in hiding. Arise, O
Lord, overtake them and trip their heels; deliver my soul from ungodly men, Thy sword from the enemies of Thy hand. O Lord, from Thy few do Thou separate them from the earth in their life; yea, with Thy hidden treasures hath their belly been filled. They have satisfied themselves with swine and have left the remnants to their babes. But as for me, in righteousness shall I appear before Thy face; I shall be filled when Thy glory is made manifest to me.

PSALM 24

READER: Unto Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. O my God, in Thee have I trusted; let me never be put to shame, nor let mine enemies laugh me to scorn. Yea, let none that wait on Thee be put to shame; let them be ashamed which are lawless without a cause. Make Thy ways, O Lord, known unto me and teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art God my Saviour; for on Thee have I waited all the day long. Remember Thy compassions; O Lord, and Thy mercies, for they are from everlasting. The sins of my youth and mine ignorances remember not; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for the sake of Thy goodness, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He set a law for them that sin in the way. He will guide the meek in judgement, He will teach the meek His ways. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, unto them that seek after His covenant and His testimonies. For the sake of Thy name, O Lord, be gracious unto my sin; for it is great. Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He will set him a
law in the way which He hath chosen. His soul shall dwell among good things, and his seed shall inherit the earth. The Lord is the strength of them that fear Him, and His covenant shall be manifested unto them. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He it is that will draw my feet
out of the snare. Look upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am one only-begotten and poor. The afflictions of my heart are multiplied; bring me out from my necessities. Behold my lowliness and my toil, and forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies, for they are multiplied, and with an unjust hatred they have hated me. Keep my soul and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I have hoped in Thee. The innocent and the upright have cleaved unto me, for I waited on Thee, O Lord. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions

PSALM 50

READER: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy Great Mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil before Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that be humbled, they shall rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away
from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with Thy governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn back unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and humbled God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built up. Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation
and whole- burnt offerings. Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

At the conclusion of the reading from the Psalter, the reader says:
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God
Alleluia, alleluia, alleuia. Glory to Thee, O God.

PSALM 531

O God, in Thy name save me, and in Thy strength do Thou judge me. O God, hearken unto my prayer, give ear unto the words of my mouth. For strangers are risen up against me, and mighty men have sought after my soul and have not set God before themselves. For behold, God helpeth me, and the Lord is the protector of my soul. He will bring evils upon mine enemies. Utterly destroy them by Thy truth. Willingly shall I sacrifice unto Thee; I will confess Thy name, O Lord, for it is good. For out of every affliction hast Thou delivered me, and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.

PSALM 54

Give ear, O God, unto my prayer, and disdain not my supplication; attend unto me, and hear me. I was grieved in my meditation, and I was troubled at the voice of the enemy and at the oppression of the sinner; Because they have turned iniquity upon me, and with wrath were they angry against me. My heart is troubled within me, and the terror of death is fallen upon me. Fear and trembling are come upon me, and darkness hath covered me. And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove? And I will fly, and be at rest. Lo, I have fled afar off and have dwelt in the wilderness. I waited for God that saveth me from faintheartedness and from tempest. Plunge them into the depths, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I have seen iniquity and gainsaying in the city. Day and night they go round about her upon her walls; iniquity and toil and unrighteousness are in the midst of her. And usury and deceit have not departed from her streets. For if mine enemy had reviled me, I might have endured it. And if he that hateth me had spoken boastful words

1 All 6th Hour Psalms from the Psalter According to the Seventy

against me, I might have hid myself from him. But thou it was, O man of like soul with me, my guide and my familiar friend, Thou who together with me didst sweeten my repasts; in the house of God I walked with thee in oneness of mind. Let death come upon such ones, and let them go down alive into hades. For wickedness is in their dwellings, and in the midst of them. As for me, unto God have I cried, and the Lord hearkened unto me. Evening, morning, and noonday will I tell of it and will declare it, and He will hear my voice. He will redeem my soul in peace from them that draw nigh unto me, for they among many were with me. God will hear, and He will humble them, He that is before the ages. For to them there is no requital, because they have not feared God; He hath stretched forth His hand in retribution. They have defiled His covenant; they were scattered by the wrath of His countenance, and their hearts have convened. Their words were smoother than oil, and yet they are darts. Cast thy care upon the Lord, and He will nourish thee; He will never permit the righteous to be shaken. But Thou, O God, shalt bring those men down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but as for me, O Lord, I will hope in Thee.

PSALM 90

He that dwelleth in the help of the Most High shall abide in the shelter of the God of Heaven. He shall say unto the Lord: Thou art my helper and my refuge. He is my God, and I will hope in Him. For He shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters and from every troubling word. With His shoulders will He overshadow thee, and under His wings shalt thou have hope. With a shield will His truth encompass thee; thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for the thing that walketh in darkness, nor for the mishap and demon of noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but unto thee shall it not come nigh. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and thou shalt see the reward of sinners. For Thou, O Lord, art my hope. Thou madest the Most High thy refuge; no evils shall come nigh thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh unto thy dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. On their hands shall they bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Upon the asp and basilisk shalt thou tread, and thou shalt trample upon the lion and dragon. For he hath set his hope on Me, and I will deliver him; I will shelter him because he hath known My Name. He shall cry unto Me, and I will hearken unto him. I am with him in affliction, and I will rescue him and glorify him. With length of days will I satisfy him, and I will show him My salvation.

At the conclusion of the reading from the Psalter, the reader says:
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God
Alleluia, alleluia, alleuia. Glory to Thee, O God.

TROPARION OF THE DAY

Special Troparion are sung on feast days and special saints days, or one of the following, according to the day of the week.

MONDAY (Tone 4) - To the Holy Angels
O ye foremost of the heavenly hosts, we, though unworthy, beseech you that by your petitions ye would encompass us with the shadow of your immaterial glory, preserving us who kneel and cry ceaselessly. Deliver us from oppressions since ye are the princes of the ranks of dominions on high.

TUESDAY (Tone 2) - To the Forerunner, John the Baptist
The memory of the righteous is celebrated with songs of praise, but the Lord’s testimony is sufficient for thee, O Forerunner. Thou wast shown indeed to be the most honorable of the prophets, for in the waters thou didst baptize Him who had been proclaimed. After suffering with joy on behalf of the truth, thou didst proclaim even to those in Hades the God who appeared in the flesh, who taketh away the sins of the world and granteth us great mercy.

WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY (Tone 1) – For the Cross
O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, grant victory to Orthodox Christians over their adversaries; and preserve Thy habitation by Thy Cross.

THURSDAY (Tone 3) - To the Apostles, Peter and Paul
O holy Apostles, intercede with the merciful God to grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

SATURDAY (Tone 2) – For all the Saints
O ye Apostles, martyrs, prophets, hierarchs, saints and righteous, who have fought the good fight and kept the faith, we beseech you, since ye have achieved favor with the Savior, plead with Him for our sake, for He is good, to save our souls.

Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Theotokion and Psalm Verses of the Hour

Seeing that we have no boldness, because of the multitude of our sins, do thou, O Virgin Theotokos, fervently entreat Him who was born of thee; for the prayer of a mother availeth much to the good will of the Master. Despise not the supplications of sinners, O all-revered one; for merciful and mighty to save is He who graciously deigned to suffer for us.

Let Thy compassions quickly go before us, O Lord, for we are become exceedingly poor. Help us, O God our Savior, for the sake of the glory of Thy name; O Lord, deliver us, and be gracious unto our sins, for Thy name’s sake.

The reader then says the trisagion prayers.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Make glad in Thy might those who lawfully govern, that with them we may be led to victory over our adversaries. Having in Thine aid a weapon of peace and a trophy invincible.

THURSDAY (Tone 2) - To the Apostles, Peter and Paul

SATURDAY
Unto Thee, O Lord the Author of creation, the universe doth offer the God-bearing martyrs as the first-fruits of nature. By whose prayers, through the Theotokos, do Thou preserve in peace profound Thy Church, O most merciful One.

And deliver us from every harmful and gloomy transgression and from all enemies, both visible and invisible, who seek after us to destroy us. Nail our flesh with the fear of Thee, and incline not our hearts to words or thoughts of wickedness; but wound our souls with the love of Thee, that looking ever unto Thee and guided by Thee in the light, beholding Thee, the Light ineffable and everlasting, we may ascribe unto Thee ceaseless confession and thanksgiving unto the unoriginate Father, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and Thine all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

PSALM 831
How beloved are Thy dwellings, O Lord of hosts; my soul longeth and
fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God. For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the
turtledove a nest for herself where she may lay her young, Even Thine
altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they that
dwell in Thy house; unto ages of ages shall they praise Thee. Blessed is
the man whose help is from Thee; he hath made ascents in his heart, in
the vale of weeping, in the place which he hath appointed. Yea, for the
lawgiver will give blessings; they shall go from strength to strength, the
God of gods shall be seen in Sion. O Lord of hosts, hearken unto my
prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. O God, our defender, behold, and look
upon the face of Thine anointed one. For better is one day in Thy courts
than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen rather to be an outcast in the
house of my God than to dwell in the tents of sinners. For the Lord
loveth mercy and truth, God will give grace and glory; the Lord will not
withhold good things from them that walk in innocence. O Lord God of
hosts, blessed is the man that hopeth in Thee.

PSALM 84
Thou hast been gracious, O Lord, unto Thy land; Thou hast turned back
the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquities of Thy people,
Thou hast covered all their sins. Thou hast made all Thy wrath to cease,
Thou hast turned back from the wrath of Thine anger. Turn us back, O
God of our salvation, and turn away Thine anger from us. Wilt Thou be
1 All 9th Hour Psalms from The Psalter According to the Seventy wroth
with us unto the ages? Or wilt Thou draw out Thy wrath from
generation to generation? O God, Thou wilt turn and quicken us, and
Thy people shall be glad in Thee. Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy, and Thy
salvation do Thou give unto us. I will hear what the Lord God will speak
in me; for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints and to
them that turn their heart unto Him. Surely nigh unto them that fear Him
is His salvation, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are
met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth is
sprung up out of the earth, and righteousness hath looked down from
heaven. Yea, for the Lord will give goodness, and our land shall yield
her fruit. Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set His footsteps
in the way.

PSALM 85
Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, and hearken unto me, for poor and needy
am I. Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save Thy servant, O my God, that
hopeth in Thee. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for unto Thee will I cry all
the day long; make glad the soul of Thy servant, for unto Thee have I
lifted up my soul. For Thou, O Lord, art good and gentle, and plenteous
in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my
prayer, and attend unto the voice of my supplication. In the day of mine
affliction have I cried unto Thee, for Thou hast heard me. There is none
like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like
unto Thy works. All the nations whom Thou hast made shall come and
shall worship before Thee, O Lord, and shall glorify Thy name. For
Thou art great and workest wonders; Thou alone art God. Guide me, O
Lord, in Thy way, and I will walk in Thy truth; let my heart rejoice that I
may fear Thy name. I will confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my
heart, and I will glorify Thy name forever. For great is Thy mercy upon
me, and Thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost Hades. O
God, transgressors have risen up against me, and the assembly of the
mighty hath sought after my soul, and they have not set Thee before
them. But Thou, O Lord my God, art compassionate and merciful, longsuffering
and plenteous in mercy, and true. Look upon me and have mercy upon me;
give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaiden.
Work in me a sign unto good, and let them that hate me behold and be put to shame;
for Thou, O Lord, hast helped me and comforted me. . . Work in me a sign unto good,
and let them that hate me behold and be put to shame; for Thou, O Lord,
hast helped me and comforted me.

Christ our God, who art long-suffering toward our sins and
who hast led us even to the present hour, in which, as Thou
didst hang upon the life-giving tree Thou didst make a way
into paradise for the penitent thief and by death didst destroy
death: Be gracious unto us sinners and Thine unworthy
servants; for we have sinned and have dealt iniquitously, and
we are not worthy to lift up our eyes and look upon the
heights of heaven, inasmuch as we have departed from the
path of Thy righteousness and have walked after the desires
of our own hearts. But we implore of Thy boundless
goodness: Spare us, O Lord, according to the multitude of
Thy mercy, and save us, for Thy holy name’s sake; for our
days have passed away in vanity. Wrest us out of the hand of
the adversary, and forgive our sins, and mortify our carnal
imagination, that, putting off the old man, we may be clothed
upon with the new man and may live unto Thee, our Master
and our Benefactor, and that, so following after Thy
commandments, we may attain unto rest eternal, where is the
abode of all those who rejoice. For Thou art, in verity, the
