I shall open my mouth and it will be filled with the Spirit, and I shall speak forth to the Queen and Mother. I shall be seen joyfully singing her praises, and I shall delight to sing of her wonders.

Greek:
Ανοίξω το στόμα μου και πληρωθήσεται πνεύματος, και λόγον ερεύξομαι τη βασιλίδι Μητρί, και οφθήσομαι φαιδρώς πανηγυρίζων, και άσω γηθόμενος ταύτης τα θαύματα (δίς).
