ναί, δέσποτα, ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀγαθὰ ἐν εἰρήνῃ, εἰς τὸ σκεπασθῆναι ἡμᾶς τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ καὶ ῥυσθῆναι ἀπὸ πάσης ἁμαρτίας τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ, καὶ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν μισούντων ἡμᾶς ἀδίκως.

English · Claude translation

Yes, Master, make your face shine upon us for good in peace, that we may be sheltered by your mighty hand and delivered from every sin by your uplifted arm; and deliver us from those who hate us unjustly.
