Σοὶ πρέπει δόξα, τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ Λόγῳ,
σὺν τῷ συσθένῳ πνεύματι καὶ συμμόρφῳ.
Θεὲ τοῦ παντός, ὁμοούσιε, δόξα·
ἓν προσκύνημα καὶ λατρεία ἡ μία,
ἕνεκεν πάντων ὧν τε ἴσμεν κοὐκ ἴσμεν,
εὐχαριστοῦμεν, δοξολογοῦμεν φόβῳ.

along with the Spirit, similar in power and form.
O God of everything, consubstantial one, glory to You.

on account of all things we know and do not know,
we offer thanks and praise You in awe.
