Velichit dusha Moja Gospoda
Language: Church Slavonic 
Velichit dusha Moja Gospoda,
i vozradovasja dukh Moj o Boze Spase moem.
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.

Jako prizre na smirenije raby Svojeja,
se bo ot nyne ublazhat Mja vsi rodi.
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.

Jako sotvori Mne velichije Sil'nyj,
i svjato imja Jego, i milost' Jego
v rody rodov bojashchimsja Jego.
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.

Sotvori derzhavu myshceju Svojeju:
Rastochi gordyja mysliju serdca ikh
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.

Nizlozhi sil'nyja so prestol
i voznese smirennyja; alchushchija ispolni blag
i bogatjashchijasja otpusti tshchi.
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.

Vosprijat Izrailja otroka Svojego,
pomjanuti milosti, jakozhe glagola ko otcem nashim,
Avraamu i semeni jego, dazhe do veka.
Chestnejshuju Kheruvim i slavnejshuju
bez sravnenija Serafim, bez istlenija
Boga Slova rozhdshuju, sushchuju Bogorodicu, Tja velichajem.
