Troparion — Tone 4

By your pure life and love for the Most Pure Mother of God, / you acquired a glorious gift of childbearing, / a lamp for the world, the wondrous Simeon; / therefore we praise you, O Martha, / as a mother who rejoices in a child,1 / and we glorify you in song.

Standing before the Lord in prayer, / offering songs and praise to the Most Pure Virgin Theotokos, / O honored Martha, you gave birth to a sacred child, / the most wondrous Simeon, a beacon for the entire world; / pray with him for all of us.
