17. Prayer for Those Who Offer First-fruits
O Master and Lord, our God, Who hast directed every man to offer to Thee Thine own of Thine according to his purpose, and who dost bestow a free recompense for these from Thine eternal gifts, Who didst willingly receive the offering made by the widow according to her means, accept the offerings now made into Thee by Thy servant (N.) and vouchsafe that they may be stored up in Thine eternal treasures; also giving him, together with all those for whom he is concerned, bountiful enjoyment of temporal blessings. For Thy Name is blessed, and Thy kingdom is glorified, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, now and, ever, and to ages of ages. Amen. (37)
