Russian text Боже, Боже мой, вонми ми, вскую оставил мя еси; далече от спасения моего словеся грехопадений моих. На Тя уповаша отцы наши. Уповаша, уповаша и избавил еси. Аз же есмь червь, а не человек, поношение человеков и уничижение людей. Ты же Господи, Ты же не удали. Помощь Твою, на заступление мое вонми. Помощь Твою от мене.

English translation O God, my God, why have you gone away from me? why are you far from saving me, from my groans? Our fathers trusted in you. Trusted, and you delivered them. But I am a worm, not a man, a reproach to mankind and a humiliation to people. You are Lord, You do not leave us. You who are my help, be my defense. Bring your help to me.
