And after this they begin the second stasis in tone v, in which also, at the ending of a verse, we say,
Have mercy upon thy servant.
The choir beginneth, Thy commandments.
Have mercy upon thy servant.
Again the same choir,
Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me: O give me understanding, and I shall be taught by thy commandment.
Have mercy upon thy servant.
They that fear thee beheld me and rejoiced, for I have trusted in thy words.
Have mercy upon thy servant.
