The accompanying video presents the opening verses of Psalm 17 (Psalm 18 in the Hebrew numbering) in Greek. The verse reads: 'I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my firm foundation, my refuge and my deliverer, my God, my helper, my hope in Him.' The verses are then repeated, with the second repetition shortened to the first part: 'I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my firm foundation and my refuge and my deliverer.' The post carries hashtags pointing to Christian and Orthodox themes, including faith, the Church Fathers, and Jesus. The combination of the commemoration notice and the psalm text gives the reader both the day's saints and a verse of Scripture to read or listen to.
