Ταῦτα τοῦ πατρὸς ἀπειλησαμένου καὶ μετ’ ὀργῆς ὑποχωρήσαντος, εἰς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ κοιτῶνα ὁ υἱὸς εἰσελθών, καὶ πρὸς τὸν οἰκεῖον ἀγωνοθέτην τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνατείνας, Κύριε, ὁ Θεός μου, ἐκ βάθους ἀνέκραξε τῆς καρδίας, γλυκεῖα ἐλπὶς καὶ ἀψευδὴς ἐπαγγελία, ἡ κραταιὰ καταφυγὴ τῶν σοὶ προσανακειμένων, ἴδε μου τὴν συντριβὴν τῆς καρδίας ἱλέῳ καὶ εὐμενεῖ ὄμματι, καὶ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, μηδὲ ἀποστῇς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ· ἀλλά, κατὰ τὴν ἀψευδῆ σου ὑπόσχεσιν, γενοῦ μετ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἀναξίου καὶ εὐτελοῦς· σὲ γὰρ γινώσκω καὶ ὁμολογῶ ποιητὴν καὶ προνοητὴν πάσης κτίσεως. αὐτὸς οὖν με ἐνίσχυσον ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ καλῇ ὁμολογίᾳ μέχρι τελευταίας διαμεῖναι ἀναπνοῆς· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με, καὶ παράστηθι ἐκ πάσης διατηρῶν με σατανικῆς ἐνεργείας ἀλώβητον·
