Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ
στρατηγῷ τὰ νικητήρια, ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγράφω
σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Ἀλλ' ὡς ἔχουσα τὸ κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον, ἐκ
παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον· ἵνα κράζω σοι· Χαῖρε νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε.

Κοντάκιον,
τον Ακάθιστο Ύμνο
To you, Theotokos, invincible Defender,
having been delivered from peril, I, your city, dedicate the victory
festival as a thank offering. In your irresistible might, keep me safe
from all trials, that I may call out to you: "Hail, unwedded bride!"
