Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
и вся внутренияя моя,
имя святое Его.
Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
и не забывай всех воздаяний Его,
очишающаго вся беззакония Твоя,
избавляющаго оть истления живот Твой,
венчающаго Tя милостию и щедротами,
исполняющаго во благихь желание Твое,
обновится яко орля юность Твоя:
твояй милостыню Господь
и судьбу всем обидимым.
Слава Отцу и Сыну и Святому Духу,
и ныне и присно и во веки веков.
Аминь.
Господи, помилуй.
Тебе, Господи. Аминь.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and not forget all His recompense,
You cleanse us from all iniquity,
You gave your life to rid us of corruption,
You are crowned with mercy and compassion,
performing Your will for good,
You renew our youth like eagles:
And your mercies, Lord,
are the end of all our troubles.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
both now and forever and ever more.
Amen.
Lord, have mercy.
You, O Lord. Amen.
