Troparion of Holy Archangel Michael in Tone IV —
Supreme commander of the armies of Heaven,/ we, the unworthy,
do ever entreat thee,/ that by thy prayers thou dost ever surround us/ with the
protection of the wings of thine immaterial glory,/ preserving us that
earnestly fall down before thee and cry aloud:/ Deliver us from misfortunes,//
in that thou art the leader of the hosts on high.
Kontakion in Tone II —
O chief commander of God,/ minister of glory divine,/ captain of the angels
and instructor of men:/ beg thou great mercy and that which is profitable for
us,// for thou art the supreme commander of the bodiless hosts.
