Θόδωρος Αγγελόπουλος: Βυζαντινός Ψαλμός

Ὑπεραγία Θεοτόκε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς

Ὑπεραγία Θεοτόκε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς.

Πολλοῖς συνεχόμενος πειρασμοῖς,

πρὸς Σὲ καταφεύγω σωτηρίαν ἐπιζητῶν·

ὦ Μῆτερ τοῦ Λόγου καὶ Παρθένε,

τῶν δυσχερῶν καὶ δεινῶν με διάσωσον.

Ὑπεραγία Θεοτόκε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς.

Παθῶν με ταράττουσι προσβολαί,

πολλῆς ἀθυμίας ἐμπιπλῶσαί μου τὴν ψυχήν·

εἰρήνευσον, Κόρη, τῇ γαλήνῃ,

τῇ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ Σου, Πανάμωμε.
