Let My Prayer Arise

Da ispravitsya molitva moya, yako kadilo pred Toboyu:

vozdeyanie ruku moeyu, zhertva vechernyaya.

Gospodi, vozzvakh k Tebe, uslïshi mya:

vonmi glasu moleniya moyego, vnegda vozzvati mi k Tebe.

Polozhi, Gospodi, khranenie ustom moim:

i dver ograzhdeniya o ustnakh moikh.

Ne ukloni serdtse moe v slovesa lukavstviya:

nepshchevati vinï o gresekh.

Translation: Let my prayer arise in thy sight as incense;

and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.

Lord, I call upon thee, hear me;

receive the voice of my prayer, when I call upon thee.

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth,

and keep watch over the door of my lips.

Incline not my heart to evil words,

nor to make excuses for sins.
