O God Almighty, who didst make the heaven in understanding, and didst found the earth on its firmness, thou builder and creator of all; look upon thy servant, name, who purposeth, in the might of thy strength, to erect a house for habitation, and to set it up with a building. Do thou stablish the same on a firm rock, and, according to thy divine evangelical voice, so found it that neither wind nor water, nor anything whatsoever may be able to injure it. Be pleased to bring it to completion, and deliver them that desire to live therein from every snare of the enemy.
For thine is the might, and thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
From G. V. Shann, Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church, David Nutt, 1894, chapter XXVIII, pp. 257–258. The book itself — public domain.
“According to thy divine evangelical voice” points at the house built on rock in Matthew 7 — which is why the prayer asks for a firm rock and for wind and water to do it no harm.
Where these come from. Every prayer here is transcribed from a printed book that is out of copyright, and each one says which book and where in it. That is not fussiness. An English translation of an Orthodox prayer is a copyrighted work in its own right, separately from the Greek or Slavonic behind it, and in 2012 a monastery took a bishop to federal court for putting its translations on a website — and won. So these come from Hapgood's Service Book of 1906 and Shann's Euchology of 1891 and Book of Needs of 1894, which anyone may reprint. More on the sources and what is missing.
