Tii are asleep and fall asleep. we will be rewarded and reformed. Lord, save the king and hear us, the stench of the day if we call on Thee.

Psalm 20

O Lord, in Thy power the king will rejoice, and in Thy salvation he will greatly rejoice. Thou hast given the desire of his heart to him, and thou hast deprived him of the desire of his mouth. Yako preceded him with a blessed blessing, you put on his head a crown from an honest stone. I asked you for belly food, and you gave him the length of days, in the age of the century. Glory to him for Thy salvation, give glory and greatness to the nan. Yako give him a blessing in the age of the century, delight him with joy with Your face. As if the king trusts in the Lord, and by the grace of the Most High does not move. Thy hand shall be found in all Thy enemies, Thy right hand shall find in all who hate Thee. As if lay them like a cave of fire during Your face, the Lord will confuse me with His anger, and take down their fire. Destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from the sons of men. Yako deviating to Ty evil, thinking of advice, but I could not compose them. As if I lay the backbone in my abundance, prepare their face. Ascend, O Lord, in Thy strength, let us sing and sing of Thy strength.

Lord have mercy (12). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill in men (three times without bows). The same: Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Thy praise (twice). And he utters the psalms, easily, with quietness and with all the attention and fear of God, as if talking to God himself invisibly, and begging Him for his sins. The brethren, however, stand with their hands and bend over to the Persem, while the heads bow little.

Psalm 3.

Lord, that by multiplying the cold ones, they rise up against me. Mnozi speaks of my soul: there is no salvation for him about his Bose. Thou Lord, art my protector, my glory, and lifting up my head. With my voice to the Lord hoists, and hearing me from His holy mountain, I fell asleep and fell asleep; vostakh, as if the Lord will intercede for me. I will not be afraid of those people who are attacking me around. Resurrect Lord, save me, my God. As if you smite all the warring ones in vain, you crushed your teeth as a sinner. The Lord is salvation, and Thy blessing is upon Thy people. I'm drowsy and spah; vostakh, as if the Lord will intercede for me.

Psalm 37.

Lord, do not show me with your anger, nor show me with your anger. Like Thy arrows unzosh mi, and Thou hast established Thy hand on me. There is no healing in my flesh, from the presence of Thy anger; carry peace in my bones, from the face of my sin. As if my iniquity has surpassed my head, as a burden is heavy on me, my wounds have died and decayed, from the face of my madness. Suffering and humbled to the end, lamenting the walk all day. As if my love was filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I was embittered and humbled to evil, roaring with the sigh of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before Thee, and my sighing is not hidden from Thee. My heart is troubled, leave me my strength and light to my eye, and that is with me. My friends, and my sincerity, is approaching me directly, and stasha. And my neighbors are far away from me stasha, and I need, seeking my soul, and seeking evil to me: vain and flattering verbs, I’ll take a drink all day. I’m like deaf: I didn’t hear; and like him: not opening his mouth. And it was as if a person did not hear, and were not in the mouth of their accusations. As for Thee, Lord, hope, you hear, O Lord my God. Yako rekh: yes, once you rejoice, foil mine, and always move my feet, speaking to me. I am ready for my wounds, and my illness is before me I will take out. For I will declare my iniquity, and I will take care of my sin. My enemies live, and they become stronger than me, and multiply those who hate me without righteousness. Those who reward me with arousing evil, slander me: pursue benevolence. Do not leave me, O Lord my God, do not leave me. Smell for my help, O Lord of my salvation. Do not leave me, Lord my God, do not leave me. Smell for my help, O Lord of my salvation.

Psalm 62.

My God, my God, I am matining to You, my soul thirsts for You, since my flesh is much for You, the earth is empty and impassable and waterless. Thus, in the holy ones that appear to You, see Your strength and Your glory. As your mercy is better than your belly, praise Thee in my mouth. Thus I will bless Thee in my belly, I will lift up my hand for Thy name. For my soul will be filled with fat and color, and my lips will praise Thee with joy. As soon as there are mentions of Ty on my bed, at Matins I studied in Ty. As my Helper has been, and I will rejoice in Thy krill in the roof. My soul clings to Thee, but Thy right hand is pleasing to me. Those who are looking for my soul in vain, they will enter the underworld of the earth. Will be given into the hands of weapons, parts of the fox will be. The king will rejoice in Boz, everyone will boast of Him. As if the lips of those who speak lies are blocked. At matins, studied in Ty. As my Helper has been, and I will rejoice in Thy krill in the roof. My soul clings to Thee, but Thy right hand is pleasing to me.

Glory, and now. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory to You, God (three times, no bows). Lord have mercy (three times). Glory, and now.

Psalm 87.

O Lord God of my salvation, in the days of raptures and in the nights before You. May my prayer come before Thee, incline Your ear to my prayer. As if my soul will be filled with evil, and my belly will draw near to hell. Applied bykh with those descending into the moat, as if a man was without help in the dead of freedom. As if the ulcer was sleeping in the grave, you did not remember them for this and that from your hand. Lay me in the pit of the underworld, in the dark and shadow of mortals. Your fury will be established on me, and all Your waves will be directed at me. Thou hast removed my known ones from me, putting me an abomination for myself, betrayed by them and not going out. My eyes are exhausted from poverty. Lift up to You, Lord, all day, my hands have lifted up to You. Did the food of the dead work miracles? Will the physician be resurrected and confessed to You? Who is Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in perdition? Food will be known in Thy miracles, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? I am to Thee, O Lord, and my morning prayer will precede Thee. Worship the Lord, cut off my soul? turn your face away from me. I am poverty, and in labor from my youth, I have exalted, but I am humbled and faint. Thy anger hath come upon me, Thy intimidation has revolted me. Having walked around me like water, all day won me together. You removed you from my friend and sincere, and my known ones from passions. O Lord God of my salvation, in the days of raptures and in the nights before You. May my prayer come before Thee, incline Your ear to my prayer.

Psalm 102.

Bless my soul the Lord, and all my inner name is His holy. Bless my soul to the Lord, and do not forget all His reward. Cleansing all your iniquities, healing all your ailments. Thy belly that delivers from decay, crowning thee with mercy and generosity. Fulfilling your desire in good, your youth will be renewed like an eagle. Give alms the Lord, and the fate of all offended. The tale of His way is Moses, the son of Israel of His will. The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and merciful. He is not completely angry, never enmity for a century. It is not because of our iniquity that He created us to eat, nor because of our sin did He give us food. As for the height of heaven from earth, the Lord has established His mercy on those who fear Him. Eliko distant the vostots from the west, removed our iniquity from us. As the father is generous to the sons, the Lord will spare those who fear Him. As that our creation is known, I remember as the dust of Esma. A man is like grass, his days like the color of a herb, tacos will bloom. Like the spirit will pass in him and will not be, and does not know its place for that. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting against those who fear Him. And His righteousness is on the sons of sons who keep His covenant, and remember His commandments to do I. The Lord in Heaven has prepared His throne, and His kingdom possesses all. Bless the Lord, all His angels, for the mighty strength that maketh His word, hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord with all His might, His servants, who do His will. Bless the Lord in all His works: in every place of His dominion, bless my soul to the Lord. In every place of His dominion, bless my soul to the Lord.

Psalm 142.

Lord, hear my prayer, instill my prayer in truly Yours, hear me in Your righteousness. And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for all who live will not be justified before You. As if the enemy chased away my soul, and humbled my belly to eat in the ground. He planted me to eat in the dark, like a dead age, and my spirit is despondent in me, my heart is confused in me. I remember the days of old, who have learned in all Your works, and have learned Your hand in Your works. My hand ascends to Thee, my soul is like a waterless land for Thee. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit disappear. Turn not Thy face away from me, and I will become like those who descend into the pit. I hear Thy mercy do me in the morning, as in Thy hopes. Tell me, Lord, the way, I will go, as if I would take my soul to You. Take me away from my enemies, O Lord, I have come to You. Teach me to do Thy will, as Thou art my God. Your Good Spirit will guide me to earth right. For Thy name's sake, Lord, live me, Thy righteousness bring my soul out of sorrow. And by Thy mercy my enemies consume, and destroy all my cold soul, as I am Thy servant. Hear me in Thy righteousness, Lord, hear me, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Your Good Spirit will guide me to earth right.

Glory, and now. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory to Thee, God (three times, with bows). Lord have mercy (12). Glory, and now.

The same God is the Lord and appear to us, blessed are the ridges in the name of the Lord.

Verse 1. Confess the Lord, for it is good, for it is His mercy for ever.

Verse 2. You made use of me, and resisted them in the name of the Lord.

Verse 3. I will not die, but I will live, and we will tell the works of the Lord.

Verse 4. The stone, who didn’t respect him, was at the head of the corner, from the Lord was this, and is marvelous in our eyes.

The same troparion for a day, or a saint, or a holiday.

If there is a fast, Alleluia is sung in the voice of the octave. Poems with a verb:

Verse 1. From the night my spirit is maturing to You, O God.

Verse 2. Learn the truth that dwells on the earth.

Verse 3. O Lord our God, give us peace, you have rewarded everything to us.

Verse 4. This is the way Thy beloved.

They are also threefold in the octay, and the usual poetry, and sedation, and the rest according to the charter.

Same psalm 50. God have mercy on me.

Therefore, songs of prophecy and canons. On the 9th canon, we sing the song of the Most Holy Theotokos (from Luke, conceived 4):

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in my Bose Savior (right face). And at each stis we sing: The most honest cherub, and the most glorious truly seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, we magnify the Mother of God. And bow to the ground. Whether it is a week, or a festival, we do small bows, only the last bow to the earth.

As a lookout for the humility of His Servant, from now on, they all blessed Me (left face).

As if create for me the greatness of the Strong, and His name is holy, and His mercy to generation and generation on those who fear Him (right face).

Create power with your arm, waste proud thoughts of their hearts (left face).

Depose the mighty from the throne and lift up the humble one, fill the hungry with blessings, and let the rich man go vanity (right face).

Perceive His youth Israel, remember mercy, like a verb to our father, Abraham and his seed to the eternity (left face).

Same song of the 9th canons. According to the 9th canto, both faces copulate we sing: It is worthy to eat, and we bow all together to the ground. Also, the litany is small. Is it even a week; we sing in the voice of the octave: Holy is the Lord our God (three times), also shining.

Therefore, psalm 148. Praise the Lord from heaven, praise Him in the highest. Praise Him, all His angels. Praise Him with all His might. Praise His sun and moon, praise Him all stars and light. Praise Him, the heavens of the heavens, and the water even higher than the heavens, that they may praise the name of the Lord. Yako That speech, and it was; That commanded, and created. I put it in the century and in the century of the century. Put the command, and it does not go by. Praise the Lord from the earth, the serpent and all the deep. Fire, hail, snow, golot, stormy spirit, creating His word. Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars. Beast and all cattle, reptiles and birds are feathered. Tsar of the zemstvo and all people, princes and all judges of the zemstvo. Young men and virgins, elders with young men, may they praise the name of the Lord. Yako ascending the name of the One. Confessing Him on earth and in heaven, and exalt the horn of His people. A song to all His venerable ones, the sons of Israel, the people approaching Him.

Psalm 149. Sing a new song to the Lord, His praise in the church of the saints. May Israel rejoice in Him who created Him, and the sons of Sioni rejoice in their King. Let them praise His name in the face, in the tympanum and in the psalms, let them sing to Him. For the Lord delights in His people, and He will exalt the meek for salvation. The saints will be praised in glory, and they will rejoice on their couches. The exaltation of God is in their throats, and swords are both sharp in their hands. Create vengeance in the town, conviction of people. Bind the king with their fetters, and their glorious hand-held fetters of iron. To create judgment in them is written, the glory of this is to all His monks.

Psalm 150. Praise God in His saints, praise Him in the strengthening of His might. Praise Him for His might, praise Him for His great majesty. Praise Him in a trumpet voice, praise Him in hymns and gusleh. Praise Him with the tympanum and face, praise Him with strings and organechs. Praise Him in the cymbals of the good-hearted, praise Him in the cymbals of exclamation. Let every breath praise the Lord.

The same, praising stichera, and Glory, and And now according to the statute. Therefore, with the verb: Glory to the one who showed us the light, and so on.

If there is no sticher on praises, and we verb: Glory befits Thee, O Lord our God, and we glorify Thee, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever, amen. Glory to the one who showed us the light.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace with good will among men. We praise Thee, bless Thee (bow), bow down, praise Thee (bow), thank Thee great for Thy glory (bow). Lord, the King of heaven, God the Father Almighty, and Lord, the Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Soul. Lord God, the Lamb of God, Son of the Father: take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; Take away the sins of the world, accept our prayers. Sit on the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you are the only holy, you are the only Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father, amen. Let us bless Thee every day, and praise Your name forever, and forever and ever. Lord, refuge has come to us in generation and generation.

Let us see the litany. Let's do the mating. Also, in verse stichera. Therefore: Glory, and now, the Theotokos. Same:

It is good to confess to the Lord, and petite Thy name, the Highest, proclaim Thy mercy in the morning, and Thy truth for every night. If there is a post, a verb twice. Same, Trisagion. And according to our Father, troparion to the day, or holy according to the ustav, and the litany and the exclamation, the psalmist says: Amen. Come, let us bow, three times. And the psalms of the First Hour. Etc. And let go.

If it’s fast, then with the verb of our Father this troparion: In the church there is Thy glory, in Heaven we pretend to stand, the Heavenly door to the Mother of God, open the doors of Thy mercy to us. Lord have mercy (40). God bless. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us. With a verb: Amen. Heavenly King, strengthen our power, strengthen the faith, tame the tongues, peace peace, and preserve this holy temple, and before our fathers and brethren departed in blood with the righteous teach us in the Orthodox faith and in repentance, Lord, accept and have mercy, like Good and Humanitarian.

Also, Lord have mercy (three times). Glory, and now. The most honest cherubim, and the most glorious truly seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, we magnify the Mother of God (great bow).

Bless in the name of the Lord, father.

And we do great obeisances, with the prayer of Saint Ephraim, as if we foretold at the daily midnight office. And abie we begin the first hour.

Six Psalms

Reader: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill in men (three times).
God! Thou shalt open my mouth, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise (twice).

Psalm 3

Lord, what do you multiply with those who are cold! people rise to me; Many say the word of my soul: there is no salvation for him in his Bose. But you. Lord, be my patron, my glory, and lift up my head. With my voice I cried out to the Lord, and hearing me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and spakh, vostakh, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of those people who are attacking me around. Resurrect, Lord, save me, my God, for you have smitten all those at war with me in vain; you have broken the teeth of sinners. The Lord is salvation, and Thy blessing is upon Thy people. I fell asleep and spakh, vostakh, as if the Lord would intercede for me.

Psalm 37

God! Do not reprove me with Thy anger, punish me with Thy anger: as Thy arrows unzosh in me, and Thou didst establish Thy hand on me. There is no healing in my flesh from the presence of Thy anger, there is peace in my bones from the face of my sin: as my iniquity has surpassed my head, as a heavy burden is burdensome on me. My wounds have become whitewashed and burned away from the face of my madness. Suffering and slush to the end; all day, mourning, walking, as if my love was filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I was embittered, and humbled myself to evil: roars from the sigh of my heart. God! all my desire is before Thee, and my sighing is not hidden from Thee; bewilder my heart, leave my strength and light to my eye, and that be with me. My friends and my sincere ones are approaching me directly and stasha; and my neighbors are far from me, and the need of those who seek my soul is in need; and those who seek wickedness to me are vain verbs, and I will study flattering all day. But I, as deaf, did not hear, and as deaf - do not open your mouth; and as if a man did not hear and did not know in the mouth of his reproof. Yako on Ty, Lord, hopes; You hear, Lord, my God. Yako rekh: yes, once upon a time, they will rejoice at mine, and always move my feet, talking to me; as I am ready for my wounds, and my illness is before me I will take out. For I will declare my iniquity, and I will take care of my sin. Throw mine away - they live, and they grow stronger than me, and multiply those who hate me without righteousness. Those who reward me evil, arousing slander me, pursuing benevolence. Do not leave me, Lord, my God, do not leave me. Come to my help. Lord of my salvation! Do not leave me, Lord, my God, do not leave me. Take in my help, O Lord of my salvation!

Psalm 62

God, my God! to You in the morning; My soul thirsts for Thee, since in the multitude of Thee my flesh in the earth is empty, and impassable, and waterless, so in the holy that appear unto Thee, see Thy strength and Thy glory: for better is Thy mercy, worse than the belly. Praise thee verbally; so I will bless Thee in my belly, and for Thy name I will lift up my hand. As from fatness and color, may my soul be filled, and my lips will praise Thee with joy. As soon as Ty is remembered on my bed, in the morning I learned in Ty, as if you were my helper, and I will rejoice in Thy krill in the roof. My soul clings to You; but less thy right hand. Tii - in vain seeking my soul, they will enter the underworld of the earth; will be surrendered into the hands of weapons, parts of the fox will be. The king will rejoice about Boz; all who adore Him will boast, as the lips of those who speak unrighteousness are blocked. In the morning, study in Ty, as you were my helper, and I will rejoice in Thy krill in the roof. My soul clings to Thee, but Thy right hand is pleasant to me!

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and forever and ever, amen.
(three times - no bows).

Psalm 87

Lord, God of my salvation! in the days of crying, and in the nights before you. May my prayer come before Thee, incline Your ear to my prayer: as if my soul will be filled with evil and my belly will draw near to hell. Applied with those descending into the ditch, like a man without help, freedom in the dead; as if he was sleeping in a coffin with an ulcer, he didn’t remember them either, and those from your hand were rejected. Lay me in the pit of the underworld, in the dark and shadow of mortals. Thy fury is established on me, and all Thy waves have brought ecu to me. Thou hast removed my known ones from me, putting me an abomination for myself, betrayed by them, and not going out. My eyes are exhausted from poverty, I cried to You, Lord, all day: my hand lifted up to You. Did the food of the dead work miracles? or will they resurrect the physician and confess to you? Who is Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in perdition? Food will be known in Thy miracles, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? And I have cried out to You, Lord, and my morning prayer will precede Thee. O Lord, cut off my soul, turn Thy face away from me? I am a beggar, and in labor from my youth, I have ascended, humbled and faint. Thy anger hath come upon me, Thy intimidation has revolted me. Having walked around me like water, all day, won me together. You removed you from my friend and my sincere and known from my passions. Lord, God of my salvation! in the days of crying, and in the nights before you. May my prayer come before Thee, incline Your ear to my prayer!

Psalm 102

Bless, my soul, the Lord, and all my inner, His holy name! Bless, my soul, the Lord, and do not forget all His rewards! Cleansing all your iniquities, Healing all your ailments; your belly that delivers from decay; crowning thee with mercy and bounty; fulfilling your desire for good; renewed, like an eagle, your youth. Do alms the Lord and the fate of all offended. The tale of His way is Moses, and the sons of Israel - His will. The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity lower in the age. Not according to our iniquity did he create for us, but below according to our sin he gave us food; as in the height of heaven from earth, the Lord has established His mercy on those who fear Him. Eliko distant the vostots from the west, removed our iniquity from us. As the father is generous to the sons, the Lord may give generosity to those who fear Him. Like Toy, our creation is known: I will remember it, like the dust of Esma. A man like grass is his days; as the color is gray, the tacos will fade. As if the spirit will pass in him - and it will not be, and will not know its place, the Grace of the Lord - from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of the sons who keep His covenant, and who remember His commandments I do. The Lord in heaven has prepared His throne, and His kingdom has all. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in might, who does His word, hear the voice of His words! Bless the Lord, all His might, His servants, who do His will! Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion! Bless, my soul, the Lord. In every place of His dominion, bless, my soul. Gentlemen!

Psalm 142

God! hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant! for all living things will not be justified before you; as if the enemy has persecuted my soul, he has humbled my belly to eat into the ground; planted me to eat in dark, like a dead age. And despondency in me is my spirit, in me my heart is perturbed. I remember the days of old, who have learned in all Your works, have learned Your hand in Your creation. My hand has lifted to You, my soul is like a waterless land for You. Hear me soon, Lord: disappear my spirit; turn not Thy face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy do me in the morning, as in Thy hopes. Tell me, Lord, the way, I will go, as if I would take my soul to You. Take me away from my enemies, O Lord; come to you, teach me to do your will, as you are my God. Your good Spirit will guide me to earth right! For Thy name's sake, Lord, live me; by Thy righteousness bring my soul out of sorrow; And by Thy mercy my enemies consume, and destroy all my cold soul, as I am Thy servant. Hear me, Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant (twice). Your good Spirit will guide me to earth right!

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever and forever and ever; Amen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, God (three times).

Those who have sinned against You, and evil in Your sight have done, as if you were justified in Your words and conquer, always judging You. Behold, in transgressions I am conceived, and in sins bore me my mother. Behold, you have loved the truth, you have revealed your unknown and secret wisdom to me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed, wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. To my hearing dasi joy and gladness, the bones of the humble will rejoice. Turn away Thy face from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquity. Build a pure heart in me, O God, and renew the spirit of rights in my womb. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of Thy salvation, and confirm me with the Spirit of the Lord. I will teach the wicked in Thy way, and the wicked will turn to Thee. Deliver me from the blood, O God, the God of my salvation, my tongue will rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. As if you would have wanted the sacrifice, you would have given it, do not favor burnt offerings.

Then a priest refers to the icon of the Mother of God, and chorus sings (according to tradition, but not according to Charter) kontakion:"Climbed Voivode ..." or kontakion holiday.

Priest:"Glory to Thee, Christ God, our Hope, glory to Thee."

Chorus: "Glory, and now", "Lord, have mercy"(three times). "Bless."

Priest on solo, facing the people, says release (cm.: Applications, Vacations).

Chorus sings perennial : "Great Lord ...".

Priest returns through the southern door to the altar, is baptized, kisses the edge of the throne and the Gospel, is baptized again and then is exposed. When taking off the sacred garments, each of them kisses, as with the vestments, but without the sign of the cross.

How to understand such a complex service as part of an all-night vigil like Matins? Matins is the longest service in the All-night Vigil and is very difficult to understand. The third lesson on the basics of liturgy, which took place on April 14, was devoted to the theme of the morning service.

To "review" the Matins chants, we will use the diagram, and then pay attention to each of their genres separately.

Scheme of Matins as part of the Sunday All-Night Vigil

1. Six Psalms (Psalms 3, 37, 62, 87, 102, 142). After Ps. 62 the priest reads morning prayers on solo.

2.Great litany.

3. "God the Lord ...". Tropari. Theotokos.

4.Caphisms. Small litany. Sedalen

5. Polyeleos ... Sunday tropari "Blessed be the Lord ...". Small litany. Ipakoi. Degree. Prokimen. Reading the Gospel. Sunday Song of the Gospel. Tropari: "Through the prayers of the holy apostles, Most Merciful, cleanse ..." (or the Lenten troparia "Open the doors of repentance, Life-Giver ...").

6. Canon matins. Catavasia after every song. After the third canto there is a small litany and a sedan. After the 6th small litany, kontakion and ikos. After the 8th Canto of the Virgin. After the 9th ode, a small litany, "Holy is the Lord our God," exapostilarius, the luminary of the Triodi (or Menaion).

11.Leave.

The most important parts of the morning worship are shown in bold.

The morning service, as well as the evening service, comes from the Jewish Jerusalem temple. On the other hand, it was influenced by the opposition to the pagan cult of the sun god Mithra, which was widespread in the east in the first centuries of Christianity. At dawn, the pagans worshiped the rising luminary, and the Christians remembered Christ, the Sun of Truth.

The oldest (and most important) part of Matins is great praise, which was sung at dawn, with the first rays of the sun the words were pronounced: "Glory to Thee, who showed us the light." There is evidence that great doxology was introduced into the Roman divine services of St. martyr by Pope Telesphorus in the 2nd century. As you know, it is not at the beginning, but almost at the end of modern Matins. The main part of this service in ancient times was performed even in the dark, from the crowing of roosters until dawn.

From the Matins of the Rule of song successions (cathedral-parish charter), "God the Lord" and stichera on "Praise"... Song Matins, like Vespers, had the structure of three three psalmies, and Praise Psalms 148, 149, and 150 were the third three psalms. The chant "God the Lord" is a verse from Psalm 117, they are sung in the manner of chanting song sequences, that is. selected verses from the psalm with a refrain.

The legacy of monastic Matins is the Six Psalms, Kathisma and Sedals. The Six Psalms in antiquity were accompanied by "smart" prayer, that is, a prayer to myself, which was after each psalm. In order not to distract the praying brother, monastic statutes are credited with observing absolute silence in the church when reading the Six Psalms: you cannot walk, talk in a whisper, cough, sneeze, etc. This prescription remained in our charter as well.

Kathisma (20 sections of the Psalter are approximately equal in size) were read in antiquity in different ways, someone tried to read the entire Psalter a day, someone read it in a week. They also read 12 psalms at night and 12 in the morning. The modern charter has preserved the tradition of reading the entire Psalter in a week. Now in parish churches the entire psalter is not read, and at Matins only the first glory of the kathisma is read (ie the first part before "Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit", usually three psalms or even one, depending on their length).

Sedalen - chants accompanying kathismas and other readings from the Old Testament. In Greek, sedalene sounds like "kathisma" and comes from the verb "sit". During what - sedation or kathisma - one could sit, the researchers argue. The translators, in order to distinguish between Kathisma as part of the Psalter and Kathisma as a hymn, translated only the name of the latter, and left the first without translation. Initially, the word "kathisma" referred precisely to these hymns, and then spread to the sections of the Psalter. Sedals originated from those "smart" prayers that the monks said to themselves after the psalms. Sedals are also read after the 3rd canon of the canon, because there used to be readings from the Old Testament.

Polyeleos - now is the most solemn part of Matins, and earlier - only the first glory of the 19th kathisma (three psalms: 134, 135, 136), read at Matins on Friday. The Monk Fyodor the Studite (VIII-IX centuries) composed alleluia for these psalms, and the psalms were sung with the chorus of Hallelujah, becoming even more solemn (except 136). It is because of this that they were included in the festive non-Sunday Matins. Psalm 136, due to his penitential mood, subsequently began to be replaced by others, and it survived only during Matins of the preparatory weeks for Great Lent.

The word "polyeleos" means "many mercy", this name comes from the often repeated line of Psalm 135, "as in the age of His mercy." The anointing with oil (oil) after polyeleos was not associated with its name. According to our Rule, the anointing should be at the end of Matins, before the prayers leave the church. It took place in the litium, which is not served now at Matins, and the oil was taken from the icon lamp of the festive icon.

After the polyeleos, the Sunday troparion "Angelic Cathedral", which tells us about the myrrh-bearers who came early in the morning to the empty tomb of the Lord and met the Angel there, one of the most ancient chants follows - ipakoi (emphasis on the last vowel). The name of this little chant comes from a Greek word that translates into Russian as "listen, be obedient." Also, according to another version, this word meant "to sing along", and ipakoi were choruses, the last lines of the anthem, which the chorus or the people sang along with the singer. Ipakoi are a kind of sedals, and at Matins they are found in the place where sedals are usually present - after the polyeleos (i.e. after the psalms).

Degree (or power antiphons) - an arrangement of 18 kathisma. According to legend, the Monk Theodore the Studite, abbot of the Studite monastery in Constantinople, composed these hymns for his monastery. By their nature, they are sedate - penitent. Their name comes from the name of psalms 18 of the kathisma - "songs of degrees" or "songs of ascent." They were sung by Jewish pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.

At Matins from ancient times they read the Gospel or other books of Holy Scripture. In the II century it was read at the end of the service, when it was already dawn, after the great doxology. And in the IV century, on Sunday Matins in the Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection (Holy Sepulcher), the Gospel was read before dawn in the very cave of the Holy Sepulcher, because the resurrection event also took place long before dawn. In the Middle Ages in Russia in the morning divine service there were two moments of the reading of the Gospel: after the polyeleos and at the end of Matins, after the great doxology.

Canon - it is a complex work that takes up a significant portion of the morning worship. The canon as a genre appeared gradually, it is created on the basis of bible songs(special poetic passages from the Holy Scriptures), read at Matins along with the psalms. Since ancient times, the divine service included the song of three youths in the Babylonian cave (Dan. 3, 67-88), the song of Moses (Ex. 15, 1-19) and Zechariah (Luke 1, 68-79). Then a tradition arose to sing along to the verses of the biblical songs of the troparia, dedicated to the event or saint celebrated on that day. One-song, two-song and tri-song appeared - the ancestors of the modern canon of 9 songs.

The nine-song canon as a genre was created by the Monk Andrew of Crete (650-726), the author of the Great Canon of Penitence. Other famous authors are St. John Damascene and Cosma Mayumsky (VIII century), who created the canons for almost all twelve feasts.

The biblical songs that formed the basis of the canon are as follows:

1. Song of Moses (Ex. 15, 1-19), laudatory, after crossing the Red (Red) Sea.

2. The song of Moses (Deut. 32: 1-43), accusatory, is addressed to the Israelite people, who have forgotten God and began to serve idols.

3. The song of Anna (1 Samuel 2, 1-11), laudatory and grateful, after the birth of the long-awaited son, the future prophet Samuel.

4. The song of the prophet Habakkuk (Hab. 3: 1-19), glorifying the power of God, God, who is coming to save His people.

5. The song of the prophet Isaiah (Isa. 26, 9-19), the song of the hungry God.

6.The song of the prophet Jonah (Jonah 2, 3-10), deplorable, in the belly of a whale

7. The song of Azariah, one of the three youths (Dan. 3, 26-56), penitential, in the oven of Babylon.

8. The song of the three youths (Dan. 3, 67-88), laudatory, in the oven of Babylon, after the deliverance.

9. The song of the priest Zechariah, father of John the Baptist (Luke 1, 68-79), grateful and prophetic, after the birth of the Prophet and Baptist of the Lord.

These nine songs gave nine canon songs. Song of the Virgin"My soul magnifies the Lord" (Luke 1, 46-55) did not give any song, but is always present in the canon between the 8th and 9th canons. In ancient times, on the site of modern refrains "Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee", "Most Holy Theotokos, save us", "Reverend Father John, pray to God for us" and others were verses of biblical songs. In modern divine services, verses of biblical songs as refrains in the canon can be heard only at Matins on weekdays of Great Lent.

The beginning of each canon song is the so-called irmos (from the Greek "connection, row"). It performs two functions: firstly, it is a musical and metric model for the troparia of the canon (in Russian this can be seen only in the ancient canons: the shorter the irmos, the shorter the troparia); secondly, irmos connects the troparia, which tell about the holiday, and the themes of biblical songs. Ideally, in irmos, the theme of the song should be combined with the theme of the holiday, but it was sometimes impossible to achieve this, therefore, in irmos, we most often see a periphrase of a biblical song.

Catavasia - this is also an irmos, but the one that is sung at the end of the song, after all the troparia. This word comes from the Greek verb "to descend": singers of two choirs to perform katavasiya descended into the middle of the temple. Catavasia may be irmos, which was at the beginning of the song, or maybe irmos of another canon, if several holidays coincide on a particular day and there are several canons in the Menaion or Triodi.

It is interesting that some canons have acrostics, i.e. a phrase that is obtained by combining the initial letters of the irmos and the troparia of the canon together (or only the troparia). The acrostic can be written on the theme of the holiday (for example, on the Week of Vai - "Hosanna Christ the blessed God") or contains the name of the author of the canon. This is a purely external decoration, it is invisible to the ear for worshipers and has no liturgical use, but it is very valuable for historians as a source of information about the time of writing the canon or about the poet himself. This technique is borrowed from non-Christian poetry, it is noticeable, of course, only in the original canons in Greek.

Kondak (from the Greek "kondos" - a stick on which a scroll was wound) in ancient times was a long theological poem of 25 stanzas. The first stanza - "kukul" - is the modern kontakion. The rest of the stanzas were called ikos. The ikos, which usually follows the kontakion, is the first ikos of the ancient 25-line kontakion. The kukul ended with a special chorus, which was repeated at the end of each ikos. The kontakion, like the canon, could have an acrostic.

Svetilen - a chant performed before dawn, shortly before the exclamation "Glory to you who showed us the light" (hence the name). One of the ancient lamps is “Holy is the Lord our God” (from the last verse of Psalm 98). Luminaries are contained in the Minea and the Triodion. The exapostilarium is also luminous, but only it is in the Octoichus. This word comes from the Greek verb “to send”: in ancient times a special monk from the kliros “exiled” to the middle of the temple and pronounced this chant there. The Exapostilaria at Sunday Matins are a poetic retelling of the Sunday Gospel that was read in polyeleos.

Order of Matins in Church Slavonic with Russian translation:

The rite of the daily Matins is set forth in the 9th chapter of the Typicon. At present, in practice, matins are usually performed in the evening, and therefore immediately after the end of Vespers (or Compline, if it was served) a priest enters the altar, opens the curtain of the royal gates (if there was Compline), blesses the censer and, standing in front of the throne with censer in hand, proclaims: "Blessed be our God ...".

Reader: "Amen. Come, let us bow ... ". Church Psalms(19th and 20th). "Glory, and now." Trisagion on "Our Father…".

While reading the church's psalms, the priest burns the whole church, and the reader should read slowly, so that at the end of the prayer "Our Father ..." a priest already at the ambo I was able to utter an exclamation: "As Yours is the Kingdom ...".

At that time a priest enters the altar and, at the end of the troparion, standing in front of the throne with a censer in hand, recites an abbreviated augmented litany of four petitions. At the end of the litany, an exclamation follows:

Chorus:"Amen. Bless in the name of the Lord, father. "
