David, the Forefather of Our Divine Lord

David, the forefather of our divine Lord

Ode 4 of the Canon. Troparion 3

David, the forefather of our divine Lord, leapt

and danced before the symbolical Ark of the

Covenant. Let us also, the holy people of God,

beholding the fulfillment of the symbols, be

divinely glad; [for Christ has risen as Almighty].
