Living in the help of the Most High, he will dwell in the blood of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from the words of rebellion, His splash will overshadow you, and under His krill you hope that His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not fear from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the grist and the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come near you: behold your eyes, and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come near your body. As His angel commanded you, to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, lest they dash your foot against a stone. Step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover you, because you have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in tribulation, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him; I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to you, God. (three times)

With the saints, rest, O Christ, the soul of Your servant, where there is no sickness, no sorrow, no sighing, but endless life.
Thou art the One Immortal One, who created and created man, who was created from the earth, and into the earth let us go, as Thou didst command, Who created me and said to me: For you are the earth, and to the earth you will go, and perhaps all men will go, a funeral lament creating a song: alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
