Yekteniya VI (Litany VI: Hope)

(I have been lying in my grave for 40 days1 already,
While my mourning soul spins underneath it,
Wonders around the house and visits my whole family,
Cries and weeps over the homeland,
Wonders around the house and visits my whole family,
Cries and weeps over the homeland).
 
Let your soul praise Me.
 
I am your Master, your Lord,
I will save My people,
And bless
Mine inheritance.
I will sanctify those that love the beauty
Of My house.
 
I glorify them
By My divine power,
And forsake not
Those that hope in Me,
Those that hope in Me.
 
Let your soul praise Me.
 
(I have been lying in my grave for 40 days already,
While my mourning soul spins underneath it,
Wonders around the house and visits my whole family,
Cries and weeps over the homeland).
 
I glorify them
By My divine power,
And forsake not
Those that hope in Me,
Those that hope in Me.
 
Let your soul praise Me.
 
I am the King, the Comforter,
The Spirit of Truth,
Who art everywhere
And fillest all things;
Treasury of Blessings,
and Giver of Life2.
 
And forsake not
Those that hope in Me,
Those that hope in Me.
 
Those that hope in Me.

While my mourning soul spins underneath it,
Wonders around the house and visits my whole family,
Cries and weeps over the homeland,
Wonders around the house and visits my whole family,
Cries and weeps over the homeland).
 
  • 1. The number 40 shows up in the Bible several times. And it seems that this number is used to emphasize times of trouble and hardship. Also Orthodox Christians believe that the deceased's soul remains on earth for 40 days.
