  appointed psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 8\n\nIf You mark in
 iquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is that You may
  be revered.\n\nWhen You were nailed to the Cross\, Your hands and feet ru
 n through\,* Your holy side was pierced\, pouring forth drops of blood and
  water\,* divine salvation\, supremely good One\,* that You might wash awa
 y my defilement and pollution.* Glory to Your goodness\, О all-Compassion
 ate One!\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patientl
 y relies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nYou endured
  suffering\, О Master\,* that You might bestow dispassion upon all who wo
 rship Your sufferings and voluntary sacrifice:* the spear\, nails and reed
 \, which You willingly endured with long-suffering:* that for the sake of 
 Your sufferings\, О Lord\, You might win dispassion for me.\n\nFrom the m
 orning watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nThe unblemished
  heifer\, beholding her Bullock willingly lifted up upon the Tree\,* cried
  out with compunction\, lamenting:* “Woe is me\, О my most beloved Chil
 d!* How have the ungrateful assembly of the Jews rewarded You\,* desiring 
 to leave me bereft of You\, О all-Beloved!”\n\nTone 1\n\nFor with the L
 ord there is mercy\, and with Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He 
 shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.\n\nThe cruel children of thos
 e who put the Lord to death\,* consumed with envy\, betrayed you\, O glori
 ous one\;* but\, invincibly brave\, you have received the delight of parad
 ise\, O Lucillianus.* Therefore\, pray that Christ grant to our souls* pea
 ce and great mercy.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His g
 lory\, all you people.\n\nThe most sacred children and the glorious and ho
 ly Paula\,* the right wondrous martyr\,* who submitted to you as to their 
 father\,* suffered steadfastly with you\;* and with them you now dwell in 
 the heavens.* Entreat Christ that He grant to our souls* peace and great m
 ercy.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth
  endure.\n\nYour shrine ever pours forth the waters of healing* upon those
  who have recourse thereto\, O much-suffering martyr\,* and washes away su
 fferings and drowns hordes of the demons* through the activity of the Holy
  Spirit.* Therefore\, pray that He grant to our souls* peace and great mer
 cy.\n\nTone 8\, Glory… Now…\n\nWhen the most pure one beheld You led t
 o the slaughter\,* following You with tears she cried aloud:* Where have Y
 ou gone\, O my Son?* I can no longer bear not beholding You* O my abundant
 ly merciful Jesus.'\n\nProkeimenon\n\nTone 1\n\nYour mercy\, O Lord\, shal
 l follow me* all the days of my life.\n\nverse: The Lord is my shepherd\, 
 I shall not want. In green pastures He gives me repose.\n\nAposticha\n\nTo
 ne 8\n\nО Christ God who was lifted up upon the Cross\,* You saved the ra
 ce of mankind.* We glorify Your sufferings!\n\nI have lifted up my eyes to
  You enthroned in heaven. Behold\, as the eyes of servants are on the hand
 s of their masters\, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistres
 s\, so are our eyes on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us.\n\nYou w
 ere nailed to the Cross\, О Christ God\,* opening the gates of paradise.*
  We glorify Your divinity!\n\nHave mercy on us\, O Lord\, have mercy on us
 \; for we have been filled with shame\; our soul is all too full of the mo
 ckery of the rich\, of the contempt of the proud.\n\nYour martyrs\, О Lor
 d\, were no longer mindful of the things of life\,* but ignored their tort
 ures for the sake of the life which is to come\,* and were shown to be inh
 eritors thereof\;* therefore\, they rejoice with the angels.* By their sup
 plications grant great mercy to Your people.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nO Lord\
 , when the sun beheld You the Sun of righteousness\, hanging upon the Tree
 \,* it hid its rays\, and the light of the moon was changed to darkness\;*
  and Your all-immaculate Mother was pierced in the depths of her soul.\n\n
 Troparion\, Tone 1\n\nBe swayed by the pains that the saints have suffered
  for You\, O Lord\,* and heal all our pains\,* O Lover of mankind\, for th
 is we pray.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nO pure One\, we have obtained your prote
 ction.* Through your intercession\, we have been kept from harm* and surro
 unded at all times with the grace of your Son’s cross.* Therefore\, we e
 xalt you with great devotion.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING\n\
