Irmos: Thou didst come forth from the Virgin, neither a mediator nor an angel, but Thyself incarnate, O Lord, and hast saved me, the whole man; wherefore, I cry to thee: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
The tool of the tyrant of falsehood was mortified, receiving defeat; for he expected to vanquish thee through her, but was instead cast down by her and trampled mightily and valiantly underfoot.
