Great will you find in troubles, the champion of the Russian land,/ conquering languages./ Just as you laid down your pride on the Don Mamaeva,/ for this feat you received the blessing of St. Sergius,/ So, Prince Dimitri,/ I pray to Christ God,// to grant us great mercy.
Your exploits, Saint Demetrius, / God will save our country, / giving you invincible strength. / And now, a strong representative, / keep with the prayers of the saints / your city Moscow unharmed// from all the slander of the enemy.

In days of peace and in times of trouble, do not leave us under your care, teach us to be submissive to Divine Providence, everything in our life is for the good of the one who guides, our fatherland through your prayers from invasions Protect and strengthen enemies, strife and disorder with your warm intercession.
