Eulogetaria for the Dead
Psalm 119:12 Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.
以歌聲讚美上主的聖徒們，已經找到了生命之泉和天堂的入口，願我也能藉由懺悔找到通往天堂之路：我是一隻迷路的羊，
喔！救世主，請召喚我到你面前，並且拯救我。
如果有超過三位神父在場，在每段「短頌」（troparion）之後，
神父們可以一個接一個反覆輪唱：「讓我們向上主祈求」「因為祢是復活與生命」。

Psalm 119:12 Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

祢讓我洗心革面，使我不再一無四處，擁有如祢般的神聖形象使我受人尊敬，
然而，我卻冒犯了祢的誡命，再次落入俗世當中。
請再一次給我機會，重新改造我，讓我找回如祢般的美好形象。

Psalm 119:12 Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

我，如同你的肖像，散發著難以言表的光輝，儘管，我的身上還留著之前誤入歧途所留下的傷痕。
求你憐憫我，喔！上主，我的君王，請用祢的雙手改造我，用祢的仁慈使我潔淨，應允我內心深處的渴望，
使我成為天國的一份子。

Psalm 119:12 Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

喔！上主，請賜給祢的僕人平安，也讓現在已經安息的他，在天國裡有一個安身之處，就讓他過去對祢的冒犯隨風而逝吧！
使他沈浸在聖徒的讚美歌聲中，喔！上主，讓正直之心像星星一樣閃耀。
願光榮歸於父及子及聖靈。

讓我們向上帝所發出的三道光芒喝采，讓我們高聲讚頌；
喔！永恆的聖父、聖子與聖靈，祢們是神聖的，請用祢散出的光芒，覆蓋在我們身上，我們以虔敬之心愛著祢，
求祢將我們從無盡的火焰中救出。
從今以後，直到世世代代。阿門。
喔！仁慈的聖母，你為了人類的救贖懷了上帝的肉身：天主之母，我們最純淨的母親，透過你，我們找到了天堂。
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia; Glory to You, O God.

Tone 8
喔！基督，因為聖徒們已經將平安賜給你的僕人，此刻不再有痛苦、煩惱與嘆息，只有永恆的生命。
