[1] Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy! [2] For the Lord, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth. [3] He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. [4] He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. [5] God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a
 		  

 trumpet.[6] Sing praises to God, sing praises!Sing praises to our King, sing praises! [7] For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!
[8] God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. [9] The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!

      From the Orthros of the Elevation of the Holy Cross (September 14)

 

O Lover of Humankind, we venerate the wood of Your Cross, for You, the Life of All, were nailed upon it. O Savior, You opened Paradise to the thief who turned to You in faith, and You counted him worthy of blessedness when he confessed You by crying aloud, “Remember me, O Lord!” Accept us, like him, for we cry out, “We all have sinned; in your merciful kindness, do not reject us.” Amen.
