I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the washing of the hands. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has formed man with wisdom, and created in him many orifices and cavities. It is revealed and known before the Throne of Your glory that if one of them were to be blocked, or one of them were to be opened, it would be impossible to exist even for a short while. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals all flesh and performs wonders. (Amen)

My G‑d, the soul which You have given within me is pure. You created it, You formed it, You breathed it into me, and You preserve it within me; You will one day take it from me and restore it to me in the time to come. As long as the soul is within me, I give thanks before You, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, Master of all works, L‑rd of all souls. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores souls to dead bodies. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives the heart understanding to distinguish between day and night. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives sight to the blind. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who releases the bound. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who straightens the bowed. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who clothes the naked. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a gentile. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a slave. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a woman. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who removes sleep from my eyes and slumber from my eyelids.

And may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, to accustom us to Your Torah and make us cleave to Your mitzvos. Do not bring us into sin, nor into transgression and iniquity, nor into temptation, nor into disgrace. Let not the evil inclination have mastery over us; keep us far from an evil man and an evil companion; make us cleave to the good inclination and to good deeds, and compel our inclination to submit itself to You. Grant us, this day and every day, grace, kindness and compassion in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who behold us, and bestow upon us good kindnesses. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who bestows good kindnesses upon His people Israel. (Amen)

May it be Your will, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, to protect me this day and every day from insolent men and from insolence; from an evil man, an evil companion, an evil neighbor, and an evil mishap; from an evil eye, from slander, from informing, from false testimony, from people's hatred, from libel, from unnatural death, from evil diseases and from evil occurrences, and from the destructive adversary; from a harsh trial and from a harsh opponent, whether he is a member of the covenant or not a member of the covenant; and from the judgment of Gehinnom.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the words of Torah. (Amen)

Please, L‑rd our G‑d, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouth and in the mouth of all Your people, the house of Israel, so that we and our descendants, and the descendants of all Your people, the house of Israel, may all know Your Name and study Your Torah for its own sake. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who teaches Torah to His people Israel. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who chose us from among all the nations and gave us His Torah. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gives the Torah. (Amen)

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel; say to them: May the L‑rd bless you and guard you. (Amen) May the L‑rd make His countenance shine upon you and be gracious to you. (Amen) May the L‑rd turn His countenance toward you and grant you peace. (Amen) And they shall set My Name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them. (Amen)

These are the things for which no limit is prescribed: the corner of the field, the first fruits, the pilgrimage offerings, acts of kindness, and the study of Torah. These are the things whose fruits a person enjoys in this world, while the principal remains for him in the World to Come. They are: honoring one's father and mother, acts of kindness, early attendance at the house of study morning and evening, hospitality to guests, visiting the sick, providing for a bride, escorting the dead, concentration in prayer, and bringing peace between a man and his fellow and between husband and wife; and the study of Torah is equal to them all.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of tzitzis. (Amen)

I hereby take upon myself the positive commandment, Love your fellow as yourself.

How goodly are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel. As for me, through Your abundant kindness I come into Your house; I bow down toward Your holy Sanctuary in awe of You. As for me, may my prayer to You, L‑rd, be at a favorable time; G‑d, in Your abounding kindness, answer me with the truth of Your salvation.

Master of the universe, who reigned before anything was created; at the time when all was made by His will, then was His Name proclaimed King. And after all things shall cease to be, the Awesome One will reign alone. He was, He is, and He shall be in glory. He is One, and there is no other to compare to Him or to consort with Him. Without beginning, without end, power and dominion are His. He is my G‑d and my ever-living Redeemer, the Strength of my lot in time of distress. He is my banner and my refuge, my portion on the day I call. Into His hand I entrust my spirit, when I sleep and when I wake. And with my spirit, my body too; the L‑rd is with me, I shall not fear.

And it came to pass after these events that G‑d tested Avraham, and said to him, "Avraham," and he answered, "Here I am." And He said, "Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Yitzchak, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you." Avraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took his two young men with him, and Yitzchak his son; he split the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place of which G‑d had told him. On the third day Avraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. Avraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; we will prostrate ourselves and return to you." Avraham took the wood for the burnt-offering and placed it upon Yitzchak his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went together. Yitzchak spoke to Avraham his father and said, "My father." He answered, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?" Avraham said, "G‑d will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt-offering, my son." And the two of them went together. They came to the place of which G‑d had told him, and Avraham built the altar there and arranged the wood; he bound Yitzchak his son and placed him on the altar upon the wood. Avraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. Then an angel of the L‑rd called to him from heaven and said, "Avraham, Avraham!" And he answered, "Here I am." He said, "Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to him, for now I know that you are a G‑d-fearing man, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me." Avraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram was caught in the thicket by its horns. Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt-offering in place of his son. Avraham named that place "The L‑rd will see," as it is said to this day: "On the mount of the L‑rd He will be seen." Then the angel of the L‑rd called to Avraham a second time from heaven, and said, "By Myself I swear, says the L‑rd, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only one, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens and as the sand on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies. And through your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have hearkened to My voice." Avraham then returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Be'er Sheva; and Avraham dwelt in Be'er Sheva.

A person should always be G‑d‑fearing in private as in public, acknowledge the truth, and speak the truth in his heart; and he should rise early and say: Master of all worlds! It is not on account of our righteous deeds that we lay our supplications before You, but on account of Your abundant mercies. What are we? What is our life? What is our kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our strength? What is our might? What can we say before You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers? Are not all the mighty as nothing before You, the men of renown as though they had never been, the wise as if without knowledge, and the understanding as if without intelligence? For most of their deeds are void, and the days of their lives are vanity before You; the pre‑eminence of man over beast is nothing, for all is vanity — except for the pure soul, which will in the future give a judgment and accounting before the throne of Your glory. And all the nations are as nothing before You, as it is said: “Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are reckoned as dust on a scale; behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.”

But we are Your people, the children of Your covenant, the children of Avraham who loved You, to whom You swore on Mount Moriah; the descendants of Yitzchak, his only son, who was bound upon the altar; the community of Yaakov, Your firstborn son, whom, because of the love with which You loved him and the joy with which You rejoiced in him, You named Israel and Yeshurun.

Therefore it is our duty to thank You, to praise You, to glorify You, to bless, to sanctify, and to offer praise and thanksgiving to Your Name. Happy are we! How good is our portion, how pleasant our lot, and how beautiful our heritage! Happy are we who, early and late, evening and morning, twice every day, declare:

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. Teach them thoroughly to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes. Write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

You were the same before the world was created; You are the same since the world was created; You are the same in this world, and You are the same in the World to Come. Sanctify Your Name in Your world through the people who sanctify Your Name; and through Your salvation, our King, raise and exalt our strength, and save us soon for the sake of Your Name. Blessed is He who sanctifies His Name among the multitudes. You are the L‑rd our G‑d in heaven and on earth, and in the highest heavens above. Truly, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You there is no G‑d. Gather those who hope in You from the four corners of the earth. Let all who come into the world recognize and know that You alone are G‑d over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; and who among all the works of Your hands, above or below, can say to You, “What are You doing? What are You making?” Our Father in heaven, living and enduring, deal with us in righteousness and kindness for the sake of Your great, mighty and awesome Name by which we are called; and fulfill for us, L‑rd our G‑d, the promise You made to us through Zephaniah Your seer, as it is said: “At that time I will bring you, and at that time I will gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captivity before your eyes, says the L‑rd.”

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying: Command Aharon and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: the burnt-offering shall remain on the fire upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. The Kohen shall put on his linen garment, and shall put linen breeches on his body; he shall remove the ashes of the burnt-offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and place them beside the altar. He shall then take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; the Kohen shall kindle wood upon it every morning, arrange the burnt-offering upon it, and burn upon it the fats of the peace-offerings. A constant fire shall be kept burning upon the altar; it shall not go out.

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying: Command the children of Israel and say to them: My offering, My food for My fire-offerings, a pleasing odor to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at its appointed time. And you shall say to them: This is the fire-offering which you shall bring to the L‑rd: two yearling lambs without blemish, every day, as a daily burnt-offering. One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil of crushed olives. It is a daily burnt-offering, as was offered at Mount Sinai, for a pleasing odor, a fire-offering to the L‑rd. And its libation shall be a quarter of a hin for the one lamb; in the Sanctuary you shall pour a libation of strong wine to the L‑rd. And the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; like the meal-offering of the morning and like its libation you shall offer it, a fire-offering of pleasing odor to the L‑rd.

He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the L‑rd, and the sons of Aharon, the Kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood all around upon the altar.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, before whom our fathers burned the offering of incense when the Beis Hamikdash stood, as You commanded them through Moshe Your prophet, as it is written in Your Torah:

The L‑rd said to Moshe: Take for yourself spices: balsam, onycha, galbanum, spices, and pure frankincense, of each an equal weight. And you shall make of it incense, a compound expertly blended, well mingled, pure and holy. You shall grind some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. And it is said: Aharon shall burn upon it incense of fragrant spices; every morning when he cleans the lamps he shall burn it. And when Aharon lights the lamps in the afternoon he shall burn it, a continual incense before the L‑rd throughout your generations.

The Rabbis taught: How was the incense prepared? It contained three hundred and sixty-eight maneh: three hundred and sixty-five corresponding to the number of days in the solar year, a maneh for each day, half to be offered in the morning and half in the afternoon; and three extra maneh, from which the Kohen Gadol took two handfuls into the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. These were put back into the mortar on the day before Yom Kippur and ground again very thoroughly, so that it would be exceptionally fine. The incense contained eleven kinds of spices, and these are they: (1) balsam, (2) onycha, (3) galbanum, (4) frankincense, each weighing seventy maneh; (5) myrrh, (6) cassia, (7) spikenard, (8) saffron, each weighing sixteen maneh; (9) costus, twelve maneh; (10) aromatic bark, three; (11) cinnamon, nine. Also: lye of Carshina, nine kav; Cyprus wine, three se'ah and three kav; if Cyprus wine was not available, old white wine might be brought instead. Salt of Sodom, a quarter of a kav; and a minute quantity of a smoke-raising herb.

Rabbi Nassan the Babylonian says: Also a minute quantity of Jordan amber. If one put honey into it, he rendered it unfit; and if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balsam is nothing but a resin which exudes from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used to rub on the onycha to make it beautiful; the Cyprus wine was used to soak the onycha in it to make its odor pungent. Though urine is well suited for this purpose, it is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash out of respect.

It has been taught, Rabbi Nassan says: While the Kohen was grinding the incense, the overseer would say, "Grind it fine, fine grind it," because the sound is beneficial for the spices. If one prepared it in half quantities, it was fit for use; but we have not heard whether this applies to a third or a quarter. Rabbi Yehudah said: This is the general rule: if it was made in its correct proportions, it is fit for use in half quantity; but if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

It has been taught, Bar Kappara says: Once every sixty or seventy years, the accumulated surplus amounted to half the yearly quantity. Bar Kappara further taught: Had a kortov of honey been mixed into it, no one could have stood its scent. Why then was honey not mixed into it? Because the Torah says: "For you shall not burn any leaven or any honey as a fire-offering to the L‑rd."

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Then the offering of Yehudah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the L‑rd as in the days of old and as in former years.

Abaye recounted the order of the altar service on the authority of the tradition, and in accordance with the view of Abba Shaul: The large wood pile was arranged before the secondary pile for the incense; the secondary pile for the incense preceded the placing of the two logs of wood; the placing of the two logs of wood preceded the removing of the ashes from the inner altar; the removing of the ashes from the inner altar preceded the cleaning of five lamps; the cleaning of the five lamps preceded the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering; the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering preceded the cleaning of the two remaining lamps; the cleaning of the two lamps preceded the burning of the incense; the incense preceded the burning of the limbs; the limbs preceded the meal-offering; the meal-offering preceded the pan-baked cakes; the pan-baked cakes preceded the libations; the libations preceded the Musaf offerings; the Musaf offerings preceded the frankincense in the bowls; and the bowls preceded the afternoon daily offering. For it is said: "He shall arrange the burnt-offering upon it and burn upon it the fats of the peace-offerings" — "upon it" all the offerings are to be completed.

We implore You, by the great power of Your right hand, release the captive. (אב"ג ית"ץ)

Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome One. (קר"ע שט"ן)

Mighty One, we beseech You, guard as the apple of the eye those who seek Your Oneness. (נג"ד יכ"ש)

Bless them, purify them; bestow upon them always the mercy of Your righteousness. (בט"ר צת"ג)

Powerful, Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, guide Your congregation. (חק"ב טנ"ע)

Only and Exalted One, turn to Your people who are mindful of Your holiness. (יג"ל פז"ק)

Accept our supplication and hear our cry, O Knower of secret thoughts. (שק"ו צי"ת)

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

^[1] Which are the places of the offerings? The most holy offerings were slaughtered on the north side. The bullock and the he-goat of Yom Kippur were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling between the staves of the Ark, upon the curtain, and upon the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings rendered the offering invalid. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; if he did not do so, however, the offering was not invalidated.

^[2] The bullocks and he-goats which were to be burned were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling upon the curtain and upon the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings rendered the offering invalid. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; if he did not do so, however, the offering was not invalidated. Both these and those were burned in the place where the ashes were deposited.

^[3] Regarding the sin-offerings of the community and of the individual — these are the communal sin-offerings: the he-goats offered on Rosh Chodesh and on the festivals. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required four sprinklings, one on each of the four corners of the altar. How was it done? The Kohen ascended the ramp, turned to the ledge, and came to the southeast corner, then the northeast, then the northwest, then the southwest. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the southern base. These offerings were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by the males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight.

^[4] The burnt-offering was among the most holy offerings. It was slaughtered on the north side, and its blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Its blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. It required flaying and dismembering, and was entirely consumed by the fire.

^[5] The communal peace-offerings and the guilt-offerings — these are the guilt-offerings: the guilt-offering for robbery; the guilt-offering for misappropriating sacred objects; the guilt-offering for violating a betrothed maidservant; the guilt-offering of a Nazirite; the guilt-offering of a leper; and the guilt-offering for a doubtful transgression. These were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by the males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight.

^[6] The thanksgiving-offering and the ram of a Nazirite were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight. The portions separated from them were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[7] Peace-offerings were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, during two days and the intervening night. The portions separated from them were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[8] The firstborn offering, the tithe offering and the Pesach offering were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required only one sprinkling, provided it was done above the base of the altar. They differed in the manner of their eating: the firstborn offering was eaten by the Kohanim, and the tithe offering by anyone. They were eaten anywhere in the city, prepared in any manner, during two days and the intervening night. The Pesach offering was eaten only at night, only until midnight, only by those registered for it, and only roasted.

Rabbi Yishmael says: The Torah is expounded by means of thirteen rules:

^[1] An inference from a minor to a major case, or from a major to a minor case. ^[2] An inference from a similarity of words. ^[3] A general principle derived from one verse, and a general principle derived from two verses. ^[4] A general statement followed by a specification. ^[5] A specification followed by a general statement. ^[6] A general statement followed by a specification and then again by a general statement — you may infer only what is similar to the specification. ^[7] A general statement that requires a specification, and a specification that requires a general statement. ^[8] Whatever is included in a general statement, but is then singled out to teach something, was not singled out to teach only about itself, but to teach something about the entire general statement. ^[9] Whatever is included in a general statement, but is then singled out to make a provision similar to the general statement, is singled out to be more lenient and not more stringent. ^[10] Whatever is included in a general statement, but is then singled out to make a provision not similar to the general statement, is singled out to be both more lenient and more stringent. ^[11] Whatever is included in a general statement, but is then singled out to be treated as a new case, cannot be returned to the general statement unless the verse expressly returns it to the general statement. ^[12] A matter explained by its context, and a matter explained by what follows it. ^[13] So, too, when two verses contradict each other, until a third verse comes and reconciles them.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, proclaim His Name; make His deeds known among the nations. Sing to Him, chant praises to Him, speak of all His wonders. Glory in His holy Name; let the heart of those who seek the L‑rd rejoice. Seek the L‑rd and His strength; seek His presence always. Remember the wonders He has done, His miracles and the judgments of His mouth. O descendants of Israel His servant, children of Yaakov, His chosen ones: He is the L‑rd our G‑d; His judgments are over all the earth. Remember His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; the covenant which He made with Avraham, and His oath to Yitzchak. He established it for Yaakov as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance," when you were but few in number, very few, and strangers in it. They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. He permitted no man to wrong them, and admonished kings for their sake: "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do not harm My prophets." Sing to the L‑rd, all the earth; proclaim His deliverance from day to day. Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples. For the L‑rd is great and highly praised; He is awesome above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols (pause) but the L‑rd made the heavens. Majesty and splendor are before Him, might and joy are in His place. Render to the L‑rd, O families of nations, render to the L‑rd honor and might. Render to the L‑rd the honor due to His Name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the L‑rd in the splendor of holiness. Tremble before Him, all the earth; indeed, the world is firmly established that it cannot be moved. The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will proclaim among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!" The sea and all that is in it will roar; the field and all that is in it will jubilate. Then the trees of the forest will sing before the L‑rd, for He has come to judge the earth. Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. And say: "Deliver us, G‑d of our salvation, gather us and rescue us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise. Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, from the beginning of the world to all eternity." And all the people said, "Amen," and "Praise the L‑rd." Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His footstool; holy is He. Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His holy mountain, for the L‑rd our G‑d is holy. He, being merciful, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath. May You, L‑rd, not withhold Your mercies from me; may Your kindness and Your truth constantly guard me. L‑rd, remember Your mercies and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever. Ascribe might to G‑d; His majesty is over Israel, and His might is in the skies. You are awesome, G‑d, from Your sanctuaries; the G‑d of Israel, He gives might and power to the people; blessed is G‑d. G‑d of retribution, L‑rd; G‑d of retribution, reveal Yourself! Arise, Judge of the earth; render to the arrogant their recompense. Deliverance is the L‑rd's; may Your blessing be upon Your people forever. The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold. L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You. L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call. Deliver Your people and bless Your heritage; tend them and exalt them forever. Our soul yearns for the L‑rd; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, for we have put our trust in His holy Name. May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have placed our hope in You. Show us Your kindness, L‑rd, and grant us Your salvation. Arise, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness. I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd. I have put my trust in Your kindness; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the L‑rd, for He has dealt kindly with me.

A Psalm, a song for the dedication of the House, by David. I exalt You, L‑rd, for You have drawn me up, and have not let my enemies rejoice over me. L‑rd my G‑d, I cried out to You, and You healed me. L‑rd, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not descend into the pit. Sing to the L‑rd, you His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name. For His anger is but for a moment, but there is life in His favor; in the evening one lies down weeping, but in the morning there is joyful song. In my security I said, "I shall never falter." L‑rd, by Your favor You established my mountain as a stronghold; when You hid Your face, I was terrified. To You, L‑rd, I called, and to my L‑rd I appealed. What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the grave? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, L‑rd, and be gracious to me; L‑rd, be a helper to me. You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy. So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

PLEASE RISE

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever. The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever. The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

Deliver us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise. Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, from the beginning of the world to all eternity; and let all the people say, Amen. Praise the L‑rd! Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd!

For the Choirmaster, a song with instrumental music, a Psalm. May G‑d be gracious to us and bless us; may He make His countenance shine upon us forever; that Your way be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You. The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly and guide the nations on earth forever. The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You. The earth will then have yielded its produce, and G‑d, our G‑d, will bless us. G‑d will bless us, and all, from the farthest corners of the earth, shall fear Him.

HOLD THE TWO FRONT TZITZIS IN HAND.

TALKING IS PROHIBITED FROM THIS POINT THROUGH THE AMIDAH

For the sake of the union of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, to unify the Name Yud-Hei with Vav-Hei in perfect unity, in the name of all Israel.

Blessed is He who spoke, and the world came into being; blessed is He. Blessed is He who says and does; blessed is He who decrees and fulfills; blessed is He who creates the world; blessed is He who has compassion on the earth; blessed is He who has compassion on the creatures; blessed is He who grants a good reward to those who fear Him; blessed is He who lives forever and exists eternally; blessed is He who redeems and rescues; blessed is His Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, the G‑d, the merciful Father, who is extolled by the mouth of His people, praised and glorified by the tongue of His pious ones and His servants, and with the songs of David Your servant. We will praise You, L‑rd our G‑d, with praises and songs; we will exalt You, praise You, glorify You, proclaim You King, and mention Your Name, our King, our G‑d, the Only One, Life of all the worlds, the King who is praised and glorified forever is His great Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who is extolled with praises. (Amen)

KISS THE TZITZIS AND RELEASE THEM FROM THE HAND

A Psalm of thanksgiving. Shout joyously to the L‑rd, all the earth. Serve the L‑rd with joy; come before Him with exultation. Know that the L‑rd is G‑d; He has made us and we are His, His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with gratitude, His courtyards with praise; give thanks to Him, bless His Name. For the L‑rd is good; His kindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness is for all generations.

YOU MAY BE SEATED

May the glory of the L‑rd be forever; may the L‑rd find delight in His works. May the Name of the L‑rd be blessed from now and to all eternity. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the L‑rd's Name is praised. The L‑rd is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. L‑rd, Your Name is forever; L‑rd, Your remembrance is throughout all generations. The L‑rd has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingship has dominion over all. The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will proclaim among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!" The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever. The L‑rd is King forever and ever; the nations have vanished from His land. The L‑rd has annulled the counsel of nations; He has foiled the designs of peoples. Many thoughts are in the heart of man, but it is the counsel of the L‑rd that will prevail. The counsel of the L‑rd stands forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations. For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it endured. For the L‑rd has chosen Zion; He desired it for His habitation. For the L‑rd has chosen Yaakov for Himself, Israel as His treasure. For the L‑rd will not abandon His people, nor forsake His heritage. He, being merciful, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath. L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will yet praise You forever. Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd. A Psalm of praise by David: I will exalt You, my G‑d the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever and ever. The L‑rd is great and highly extolled, and His greatness is unfathomable. One generation to another will laud Your works, and tell of Your mighty acts. I will speak of the splendor of Your glorious majesty and of Your wondrous deeds. They will proclaim the might of Your awesome acts, and I will recount Your greatness. They will express the remembrance of Your abounding goodness, and sing of Your righteousness. The L‑rd is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and of great kindness. The L‑rd is good to all, and His mercies extend over all His works. L‑rd, all Your works will give thanks to You, and Your pious ones will bless You. They will declare the glory of Your kingdom, and speak of Your strength, to make known to men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingship is a kingship over all worlds, and Your dominion is throughout all generations. The L‑rd supports all who fall, and straightens all who are bent. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at the proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The L‑rd is righteous in all His ways, and benevolent in all His deeds. The L‑rd is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, hears their cry and delivers them. The L‑rd watches over all who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked. My mouth will utter the praise of the L‑rd, and let all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever. And we will bless the L‑rd from now to eternity. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Praise the L‑rd, O my soul. I will sing to the L‑rd with my soul; I will chant praises to my G‑d while I yet exist. Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in mortal man who has not the power to save. When his spirit departs, he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans come to naught. Happy is he whose help is the G‑d of Yaakov, whose hope rests upon the L‑rd his G‑d, who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps His promise faithfully forever; who renders justice to the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The L‑rd releases those who are bound. The L‑rd opens the eyes of the blind; the L‑rd straightens those who are bowed down; the L‑rd loves the righteous. The L‑rd watches over the strangers; He gives strength to the orphan and widow; He thwarts the way of the wicked. The L‑rd shall reign forever, your G‑d, O Zion, throughout all generations. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! For it is good to sing to our G‑d, for praise is pleasant and fitting. The L‑rd rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers the banished of Israel. He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls each of them by name. Great is our L‑rd and abounding in might; His understanding is beyond reckoning. The L‑rd strengthens the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. Lift your voices to the L‑rd in gratitude; sing to our G‑d with the harp. He covers the heavens with clouds; He prepares rain for the earth, and makes grass grow upon the mountains. He gives the animals their food, to the young ravens which cry to Him. He does not desire the strength of the horse, nor does He want the legs of man. The L‑rd desires those who fear Him, those who long for His kindness. Praise the L‑rd, O Jerusalem; Zion, extol your G‑d. For He has strengthened the bolts of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst. He has made peace within your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of wheat. He issues His command to the earth; His word runs most swiftly. He gives snow like fleece; He scatters frost like ashes. He hurls His ice like morsels; who can withstand His cold? He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. He tells His words to Yaakov, His statutes and judgments to Israel. He has not done so for other nations, and they do not know His judgments. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Praise the L‑rd from the heavens; praise Him in the heights. Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts. Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all the shining stars. Praise Him, heaven of heavens, and the waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for He commanded and they were created. He has established them forever, for all time; He issued a decree, and it shall not be transgressed. Praise the L‑rd from the earth, sea-monsters and all the depths; fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind carrying out His command; mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars; beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl; kings of the earth and all nations, rulers and all judges of the land; young men as well as maidens, old men together with youths. Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for His Name alone is sublime; His majesty is over the earth and heavens. He has raised the glory of His people, the praise of all His pious ones, of the children of Israel, the people near to Him. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Sing to the L‑rd a new song, His praise in the assembly of the pious. Let Israel rejoice in its Maker; let the children of Zion delight in their King. Let them praise His Name with dancing; let them sing to Him with the drum and harp. For the L‑rd takes delight in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation. Let the pious exult in glory; let them sing upon their beds. Let the exaltation of G‑d be in their throat, and a double-edged sword in their hand, to bring retribution upon the nations, punishment upon the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with iron fetters; to execute upon them the judgment that is written. This is the glory of all His pious ones. Praise the L‑rd!

Praise the L‑rd! Praise G‑d in His holiness; praise Him in the firmament of His strength. Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His abundant greatness. Praise Him with the call of the shofar; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with drum and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with clanging cymbals. Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd! Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd!

PLEASE RISE

Blessed is the L‑rd forever, Amen and Amen. Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the L‑rd! Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders. Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

And David blessed the L‑rd in the presence of all the assembly, and David said: Blessed are You, L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel our father, for all eternity. Yours, L‑rd, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and on earth is Yours. Yours, L‑rd, is the kingship, and You are exalted as Ruler over all. Wealth and honor come from You, and You rule over all; in Your hand are strength and might, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all. And now, our G‑d, we thank You and praise Your glorious Name. Let them bless Your glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the L‑rd; You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens and all their hosts, the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all; and the hosts of heaven bow down to You. You are the L‑rd G‑d who chose Avram, brought him out of Ur Kasdim, and named him Avraham. You found his heart faithful before You,

and You made the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite, to give it to his descendants; and You fulfilled Your word, for You are righteous. You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry at the Sea of Reeds. You performed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, upon all his servants and upon all the people of his land, for You knew that they acted wickedly against them; and You made a name for Yourself as it is this day. You split the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers You cast into the depths, like a stone into turbulent waters.

Thus the L‑rd saved Israel on that day from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great hand which the L‑rd wielded against Egypt, and the people feared the L‑rd, and they believed in the L‑rd and in His servant Moshe.

Then Moshe and the Children of Israel sang this song to the L‑rd, and they said: I will sing to the L‑rd, for He is most exalted; the horse and its rider He cast into the sea. The strength and the song of G‑d have been my salvation; this is my G‑d and I will glorify Him, the G‑d of my father and I will exalt Him. The L‑rd is the Master of war; L‑rd is His Name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains were drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deeps covered them; they sank in the depths like a stone. Your right hand, O L‑rd, is glorious in power; Your right hand, O L‑rd, crushes the enemy. In Your great majesty You destroy those who rise against You; You send forth Your wrath, it consumes them like straw. At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood erect like a wall, the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; my desire shall be filled with them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters. Who is like You among the mighty, O L‑rd! Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, performing wonders! You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. In Your loving-kindness You led the people You redeemed; You guided them in Your strength to Your holy abode. Nations heard and trembled; terror gripped the inhabitants of Philistia. Then the chieftains of Edom were dismayed; trembling seized the mighty men of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away. Fear and dread fell upon them; by the greatness of Your arm they were still as stone, until Your people passed over, O L‑rd, until this people You acquired passed over. You will bring them and plant them on the mount of Your inheritance, the place You, L‑rd, have made for Your dwelling, the Sanctuary, my L‑rd, which Your hands have established. The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever. The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever. The L‑rd, His kingship is established forever and to all eternity. For Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the L‑rd brought back the waters of the sea upon them, while the Children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea. For sovereignty is the L‑rd's, and He rules over the nations. Deliverers shall go up to Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingship shall be the L‑rd's. The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

| Rabbeinu Tam | Musaf |

May Your Name be praised forever, our King, the G‑d, the great and holy King, in heaven and on earth. For to You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, it is fitting forever and ever to offer song and praise, hymn and melody, strength and dominion, victory, greatness and might, praise and splendor, holiness and sovereignty, blessings and thanksgivings to Your great and holy Name; from everlasting to everlasting You are G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, G‑d, King, great and extolled in praises, G‑d of thanksgivings, Master of wonders, Creator of all souls, Master of all creatures, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, the Life of all worlds.

YOU MAY BE SEATED

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who forms light and creates darkness, who makes peace and creates all things.

In mercy He gives light to the earth and to those who dwell upon it, and in His goodness He renews each day, continuously, the work of creation. How manifold are Your works, O L‑rd! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions. He is the King who alone is exalted from aforetime, praised, glorified and extolled since days of old. Eternal G‑d, in Your abounding mercies have compassion upon us, Master of our strength, Rock of our stronghold, Shield of our salvation, be a stronghold for us. The blessed G‑d, great in knowledge, prepared and made the rays of the sun; the Beneficent One fashioned glory for His Name; He set luminaries around His majesty; His chief hosts are holy beings that exalt the Almighty, constantly recounting the glory of G‑d and His holiness. Be blessed, L‑rd our G‑d, in the heavens above and on the earth below, for all the excellent work of Your hands, and for the light-giving luminaries which You have made; may they glorify You forever.

Be blessed forever, our Rock, our King and our Redeemer, Creator of holy beings; praised be Your Name forever, our King, who fashions ministering angels, and whose ministering angels all stand in the heights of the universe and proclaim aloud in awe, in unison, the words of the living G‑d and eternal King. They are all beloved, all pure, all mighty; they are all holy, and they all perform with awe and reverence the will of their Creator. And they all open their mouths in holiness and purity, with song and melody, and bless and praise, glorify and revere, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of

the Name of the G‑d, the great, mighty and awesome King; holy is He. They all take upon themselves the yoke of the kingdom of heaven one from the other, and lovingly grant permission to one another to sanctify their Creator with tranquil spirit, with clear speech and sacred melody. All as one exclaim in awe and say with reverence:

Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

And the Ofanim and the holy Chayos, with a mighty sound, rise toward the Seraphim, and facing them they give praise and say:

Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from its place.

To the blessed G‑d they offer sweet melodies; to the King, the living and eternal G‑d, they utter hymns and make their praises heard. For He alone is exalted and holy; He performs mighty deeds, makes new things, is Master of battles, sows righteousness, causes salvation to spring forth, creates healing, is awesome in praises, Master of wonders, who in His goodness renews each day, continuously, the work of creation, as it is said: To Him who makes the great lights, for His kindness is everlasting. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Creator of the luminaries. (Amen)

With everlasting love have You loved us, L‑rd our G‑d; great and abundant compassion have You bestowed upon us. Our Father, our King, for the sake of Your great Name and for the sake of our fathers who trusted in You, and whom You taught the laws of life to do Your will with a perfect heart, so be gracious to us and teach us. Our Father, merciful Father, who is compassionate, have mercy upon us, and grant our heart understanding to comprehend and to discern, to hear, to learn and to teach, to observe, to practice and to fulfill all the words of the teaching of Your Torah with love. Enlighten our eyes in Your Torah, cause our heart to cleave to Your mitzvos, and unite our heart to love and fear Your Name, and may we never be put to shame, nor disgraced, nor caused to stumble, forever and ever. For we trust in Your holy, great and awesome Name; may we rejoice and exult in Your salvation. May Your mercy, L‑rd our G‑d, and Your abundant kindness never forsake us, forever and ever. Hasten and bring upon us blessing and peace speedily,

GATHER THE TWO FRONT TZITZIS INTO THE RIGHT HAND, THEN BRING THE BACK LEFT TZITZIS FORWARD THEN THE BACK RIGHT TZITZIS. HOLD ALL FOUR TZITZIS IN THE LEFT HAND NEAR THE HEART.

and bring us in peace from the four corners of the earth, break the yoke of the nations from off our neck, and speedily lead us upright to our land. For You are G‑d who performs acts of salvation, and You have chosen us from among all nations and tongues, and have brought us near, our King, to Your great Name in love, to give thanks to You, to proclaim Your Oneness and to love Your Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who chooses His people Israel with love.

Cover your eyes while reciting the verse Shema Yisrael

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

The verse Baruch Shem is said in an undertone

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

And it will come to pass, if you diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil. And I will give grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated. Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn aside and worship other gods and bow down to them. For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you. Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for tefillin between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give to them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying: Speak to the Children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tzitzis Kiss tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach to the tzitzis Kiss tzitzis of each corner a thread of blue. They shall be to you as tzitzis, Kiss tzitzis and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the L‑rd and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, after which you go astray. So that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments, and be holy to your G‑d. I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I am the L‑rd your G‑d.

True, Kiss tzitzis and certain, established and enduring, upright and faithful, beloved and cherished, delightful and pleasant, awesome and mighty, correct and acceptable, good and beautiful is this matter to us forever and ever. True, the eternal G‑d, our King, is the Rock of Jacob, the Shield of our salvation. He endures throughout all generations, His Name endures and His throne is established; His kingship and His faithfulness endure forever. Kiss tzitzis His words are living and enduring, faithful and desirable forever Kiss tzitzis and to all eternity, Release tzitzis for our fathers and for us, for our children and for our generations, and for all the generations of the seed of Israel Your servants.

For the first and for the last generations it is a good and enduring thing, in truth and in faithfulness, a law which shall not pass away. True, You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, our King and the King of our fathers, our Redeemer and the Redeemer of our fathers, our Rock, the Rock of our salvation, our Deliverer and Rescuer; this has ever been Your Name; there is no G‑d besides You, forever.

You have always been the help of our fathers, a shield and savior to them and to their children after them in every generation. In the heights of the universe is Your dwelling, and Your judgments and Your righteousness extend to the ends of the earth. True, happy is the man who heeds Your commandments and takes to heart Your Torah and Your word. True, You are the Master of Your people and a mighty King to champion their cause, for fathers and children. True, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You we have no King, Redeemer and Savior. True, You redeemed us from Egypt, L‑rd our G‑d, and freed us from the house of bondage. All their firstborn You slew, but Your firstborn, Israel, You redeemed; You split the Sea of Reeds for them, drowned the wicked, and brought the beloved ones across, and the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them remained. For this the beloved ones praised and exalted G‑d, and the cherished ones offered hymns, songs and praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the King, the living and eternal G‑d. He is exalted and uplifted, great and awesome; He humbles the haughty to the ground and raises the lowly to the heights; He frees the captives, redeems the humble, helps the poor, and answers His people Israel when they cry out to Him. Praises to the Most High G‑d, their Redeemer; blessed is He and He is blessed. Moshe and the Children of Israel raised their voices in song to You with great joy, and they all said:

Who is like You among the mighty, O L‑rd! Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, performing wonders!

With a new song the redeemed praised Your great Name at the seashore; all of them together gave thanks, proclaimed Your sovereignty and said: The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever. And it is said: Our Redeemer, the L‑rd of hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who redeemed Israel.

PLEASE RISE AND TAKE THREE STEPS BACKWARDS THEN THREE STEPS FORWARD AND STAND WITH FEET TOGETHER DURING THE AMIDAH PRAYER

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, G‑d most high, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name. O King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save. (Summer: He causes the dew to descend. Winter: He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.) He sustains the living with loving-kindness, revives the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and fulfills His trust to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, mighty One! And who can be compared to You, King, who brings death and restores life, and causes deliverance to spring forth! You are trustworthy to revive the dead. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who revives the dead.

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily for all eternity. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the holy G‑d.

You graciously bestow knowledge upon man and teach mortals understanding. Graciously bestow upon us from You wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who graciously bestows knowledge.

Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and cause us to return to You in wholehearted repentance. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who desires repentance.

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, gracious One who pardons abundantly.

Behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You are a mighty redeeming G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, O L‑rd, and we will be healed; help us and we will be saved, for You are our praise. Grant complete cure and healing to all our wounds, for You, G‑d, King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, L‑rd our G‑d, this year and all the varieties of its produce for good, and bestow (blessing Summer — dew and rain for a blessing Winter) upon the face of the earth. Satisfy us with Your goodness and bless our year like other good years, for blessing; for You are a good and beneficent G‑d who blesses the years. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses the years.

Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise a banner to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.

Restore our judges as in former times and our counselors as of old; remove from us sorrow and sighing; and reign over us, You alone, O L‑rd, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who loves righteousness and justice.

Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily cut off; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who breaks enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your mercies be aroused, L‑rd our G‑d, upon the righteous, upon the pious, upon the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, upon the remnant of their sages, upon the righteous converts and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the support and security of the righteous.

Return in mercy to Jerusalem Your city and dwell therein as You have promised; speedily establish therein the throne of David Your servant, and rebuild it, soon in our days, as an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who rebuilds Jerusalem.

Speedily cause the offspring of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power by Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are G‑d who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from Your presence, our King, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who hears prayer.

Look with favor, L‑rd our G‑d, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and their prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, may there ascend, come and reach, be seen and accepted, heard, recalled and remembered before You, the remembrance and recollection of us, the remembrance of our fathers, the remembrance of Moshiach the son of David Your servant, the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city, and the remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel, for deliverance, for well-being, for grace, kindness and mercy, for good life and for peace, on this day of Rosh Chodesh. Remember us on it, L‑rd our G‑d, for good; recall us on it for blessing; and help us on it for good life. With the promise of deliverance and compassion, spare us and be gracious to us; have mercy upon us and deliver us; for our eyes are directed to You, for You, G‑d, are a gracious and merciful King.

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers forever. You are the strength of our life, the shield of our salvation, in every generation. We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us daily, and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time.

And all living things shall forever thank You and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks.

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, L‑rd our G‑d, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel at all times and at every moment with Your peace. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

My G‑d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. And all who plot evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and frustrate their plans. Let them be like chaff before the wind; let the angel of the L‑rd thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

He who makes peace in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

REPETITION OF THE AMIDAH. YOU MAY BE SEATED

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd (Blessed be He and blessed be His Name) our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, G‑d most high, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name. O King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, (Blessed be He and blessed be His Name) Shield of Abraham. (Amen)

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save. (Summer: He causes the dew to descend. Winter: He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.)

WHEN THE CHAZZAN SAYS MODIM, PLEASE RISE AND SAY MODIM DERABBANAN

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, the G‑d of all flesh, our Creator and the Creator of all things in the beginning. Blessings and thanks are due to Your great and holy Name, for You have given us life and sustained us; so may You continue to give us life and sustain us, and gather our exiles to the courtyards of Your Sanctuary, and we shall return to You to keep Your laws, to do Your will, and to serve You with a perfect heart, for we thankfully acknowledge You. Blessed is G‑d, to whom all thanks are due.

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers forever. You are the strength of our life, the shield of our salvation, in every generation. We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us daily, and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

YOU MAY BE SEATED

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time. And all living things shall forever thank You and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, (Blessed be He and blessed be His Name) Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks. (Amen)

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, bless us with the threefold blessing written in the Torah by the hand of Moshe Your servant, pronounced by Aharon and his sons, the Kohanim, Your holy people, as it is said: May the L‑rd bless you and guard you. (Amen) May the L‑rd make His countenance shine upon you and be gracious to you. (Amen) May the L‑rd turn His countenance toward you and grant you peace. (Amen)

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel.

May it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel at all times and at every moment with Your peace. Blessed are You, L‑rd, (Blessed be He and blessed be His Name) who blesses His people Israel with peace. (Amen)

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to recite the Hallel. (Amen)

Halleluyah! Give praise, you servants of the L‑rd; praise the Name of the L‑rd. May the Name of the L‑rd be blessed from now and forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the L‑rd's Name is praised. The L‑rd is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. Who is like the L‑rd our G‑d, who dwells on high, yet looks down so low upon heaven and earth? He raises the poor from the dust; He lifts the needy from the refuse heap, to seat them with nobles, with the nobles of His people. He settles the barren woman in a home as a joyful mother of children. Halleluyah!

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Yaakov from a people of a foreign tongue, Yehudah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion. The sea saw and fled; the Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep. What is with you, O sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back? Mountains, that you skip like rams? Hills, like young sheep? Tremble, O earth, before the L‑rd, before the G‑d of Yaakov, who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a flowing spring.

The L‑rd, who has remembered us, will bless — He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aharon; He will bless those who fear the L‑rd, the small together with the great. May the L‑rd increase you, you and your children. You are blessed to the L‑rd, Maker of heaven and earth. The heavens are the heavens of the L‑rd, but the earth He has given to mankind. The dead do not praise G‑d, nor do any who go down into silence. But we will bless G‑d from now and forever. Halleluyah!

How can I repay the L‑rd for all His kindnesses to me? I will raise the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the L‑rd. I will pay my vows to the L‑rd, now, in the presence of all His people. Grievous in the eyes of the L‑rd is the death of His pious ones. Please, L‑rd — for I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid — You have loosened my bonds. To You I will bring an offering of thanksgiving, and call upon the Name of the L‑rd. I will pay my vows to the L‑rd, now, in the presence of all His people, in the courtyards of the House of the L‑rd, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah!

Praise the L‑rd, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples. For His kindness to us has been overwhelming, and the truth of the L‑rd is forever. Halleluyah!

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. Let Israel say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Let Israel say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. Let the house of Aharon say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Let the House of Aaron say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. Let those who fear the L‑rd say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Let those who fear the L‑rd say, for His kindness is everlasting.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

Out of distress I called upon Yah; Yah answered me with abundant relief. The L‑rd is with me, I will not fear; what can man do to me? The L‑rd is with me among my helpers, and I will see the downfall of those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the L‑rd than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the L‑rd than to trust in nobles. All nations surround me, but in the Name of the L‑rd I will cut them down. They surround me, indeed they encircle me, but in the Name of the L‑rd I will cut them down. They surround me like bees, yet they are extinguished like a fire of thorns; in the Name of the L‑rd I will cut them down. You pushed me again and again to fall, but the L‑rd helped me. Yah is my strength and my song, and He has been my salvation. The sound of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the L‑rd does valiantly. The right hand of the L‑rd is exalted; the right hand of the L‑rd does valiantly. I shall not die, but I shall live and recount the deeds of Yah. Yah has chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them and give thanks to Yah. This is the gate of the L‑rd; the righteous shall enter it.

I thank You, for You have answered me and have been my salvation.

I thank You, for You have answered me and have been my salvation.

The stone scorned by the builders has become the cornerstone.

The stone scorned by the builders has become the cornerstone.

This was indeed from the L‑rd; it is wondrous in our eyes.

This was indeed from the L‑rd; it is wondrous in our eyes.

This is the day the L‑rd has made; let us be glad and rejoice on it.

This is the day the L‑rd has made; let us be glad and rejoice on it.

All Your works shall praise You, L‑rd our G‑d; Your pious ones, the righteous who do Your will, and all Your people, the House of Israel, with joyful song will thank and bless, laud and glorify, exalt and extol, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of Your Name, our King. For it is good to thank You, and fitting to sing to Your Name, for from eternity to eternity You are G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who is extolled with praises. (Amen)

And Abraham was old, well advanced in years, and the L‑rd blessed Abraham with everything. Zevadyah, guard me and grant me life. So may it be Your will, living G‑d and eternal King, in whose hand is the soul of every living thing. Amen.

May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He.

May the prayers and supplications of the entire House of Israel be accepted before their Father in heaven; and say, Amen. (Amen)

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a good life for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

Song for the day:

Today is the first day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

By David, a Psalm. The earth and all that it contains is the L‑rd's, the world and those who dwell in it. For He founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers. Who may ascend the mountain of the L‑rd, and who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not used My Name in vain, and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the L‑rd, and righteousness from G‑d, his deliverer. This is the generation of those who seek Him, those who seek Your countenance, Jacob, Selah. Lift up your heads, O gates, and be uplifted, you everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The L‑rd, strong and mighty; the L‑rd, mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The L‑rd of hosts, He is the King of glory, Selah. (Continue with “Save us…”)

Today is the second day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

A song, a psalm by the sons of Korach. Great is the L‑rd and highly praised in the city of our G‑d, His holy mountain. Beautiful in its panorama, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, at the northern side, the city of the great King. In her palaces G‑d is known as a stronghold. For behold, the kings assembled; they passed by together.

They saw, and so were astounded; they were terrified and fled in haste. Trembling seized them there, pangs as of a woman in childbirth. With an east wind You shatter the ships of Tarshish. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the L‑rd of hosts, in the city of our G‑d; may G‑d establish it forever, Selah. We have reflected, O G‑d, on Your kindness in the midst of Your Sanctuary. As Your Name, O G‑d, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness. Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Yehudah exult, because of Your judgments. Walk around Zion and encircle it; count its towers. Set your heart upon its ramparts, behold its palaces, that you may recount it to a later generation. For this G‑d is our G‑d forever and ever; He will lead us beyond death. (Continue with “Save us…”)

Today is the third day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

A psalm of Asaf. G‑d stands in the assembly of G‑d; in the midst of the judges He judges. How long will you judge corruptly and show favor to the wicked, Selah? Judge the poor and the orphan; do justice to the afflicted and the destitute.

Rescue the poor and the needy; save them from the hand of the wicked. They neither know nor understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth totter.

I said, "You are godly beings, all of you children of the Most High." Yet you will die like men, and you will fall like any prince. Arise, O G‑d, judge the earth, for You possess all the nations. (Continue with “Save us…”)

Today is the fourth day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

G‑d of retribution, L‑rd, G‑d of retribution, reveal Yourself! Arise, Judge of the earth; render to the arrogant their recompense. How long shall the wicked, L‑rd, how long shall the wicked exult? They pour forth arrogant speech; all the evildoers act boastfully. They crush Your people, L‑rd, and afflict Your heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the orphans. And they say, "Yah does not see, and the G‑d of Yaakov does not perceive." Understand, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? He who implants the ear, shall He not hear? He who forms the eye, shall He not see? He who chastises nations, shall He not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge!

The L‑rd knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain. Happy is the man whom You chastise, Yah, and whom You teach from Your Torah, to grant him respite from days of evil, until the pit is dug for the wicked. For the L‑rd will not forsake His people, nor abandon His heritage. For judgment shall return to righteousness, and all the upright of heart will follow it. Who will rise up for me against evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Had the L‑rd not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in silence. When I said, "My foot is slipping," Your kindness, L‑rd, supported me. When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Can the seat of iniquity be allied with You — those who fashion wrongdoing into law? They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But the L‑rd has been my stronghold, and my G‑d the rock of my refuge. He will turn their own violence upon them and destroy them through their own wickedness; the L‑rd our G‑d will destroy them. Come, let us sing to the L‑rd; let us raise our voices in joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us greet Him with thanksgiving; let us raise our voices to Him in song. For the L‑rd is a great G‑d, and a great King above all supernal beings. (Continue with “Save us…”)

Today is the fifth day of the week, on which the Levi'im would say in the Beis Hamikdash:

For the Conductor, upon the gittis, by Asaf. Sing joyously to G‑d, our strength; shout for joy to the G‑d of Jacob. Raise a song and sound the drum, the pleasant lyre with the harp. Blow the shofar on the New Moon, at the appointed time for our festive day. For it is a statute for Israel, a ruling of the G‑d of Jacob. He ordained it as a testimony for Yehosef when he went out over the land of Egypt; I heard a language I did not know. I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket. In distress you called and I rescued you; I answered you from the hidden place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Merivah, Selah. Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would only listen to Me! There shall be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow down to an alien god. I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it. But My people did not heed My voice, and Israel did not want Me. So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might follow their own counsels. If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would walk in My ways, I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their oppressors. Those who hate the L‑rd would deny Him, and their time would be forever. He would feed them with the finest wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.

Today is the sixth day of the week, on which the Levi'im would recite in the Beis Hamikdash:

The L‑rd is King; He has garbed Himself with grandeur; the L‑rd has robed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength; He has also established the world firmly that it shall not falter. Your throne stands firm from of old; You have existed forever. The rivers have raised, L‑rd, the rivers have raised their voice; the rivers raise their raging waves. More than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, is the L‑rd mighty on high. Your testimonies are most trustworthy; holiness befits Your House, L‑rd, for all time.

Save us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise. Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say, “Amen, Halleluyah.” Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; Halleluyah. Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders. Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

Bless the L‑rd, O my soul! L‑rd my G‑d, You are exceedingly great; You have clothed Yourself in majesty and splendor. He wraps Himself in light as in a garment; He spreads out the heavens like a curtain. He roofs His upper chambers with water; He makes the clouds His chariot; He moves upon the wings of the wind. He makes the winds His messengers, the flaming fire His ministers. He established the earth upon its foundations, that it shall never falter. The deep covered it like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away. They rose up mountains and went down into valleys, to the place You had founded for them. You set a boundary which they may not cross, so that they will not return to cover the earth. He sends forth springs into the streams; they flow between the mountains. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens dwell; from among the branches they raise their voice. He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; the earth is sated from the fruit of Your works. He causes grass to sprout for the cattle, and plants for the labor of man, to bring forth bread from the earth; and wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make the face shine, and bread that sustains the heart of man. The trees of the L‑rd are sated, the cedars of Lebanon which He planted, where birds build their nests; the stork has its home in the cypresses. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a shelter for the hyraxes. He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time of setting. You bring on darkness and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth. The young lions roar for prey, seeking their food from G‑d. When the sun rises they withdraw, and lie down in their dens. Man goes out to his work and to his labor until evening. How manifold are Your works, O L‑rd! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions. Here is the sea, great and wide, where there are countless creeping things, small creatures together with great ones. There the ships travel; there is the Leviathan which You formed to sport in it. All of them look to You to give them their food in its proper time. You give it to them, they gather it; You open Your hand, they are sated with good. When You hide Your face they are terrified; when You take away their breath they perish and return to their dust. When You send forth Your spirit they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the L‑rd endure forever; may the L‑rd rejoice in His works. He looks at the earth and it trembles; He touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the L‑rd as long as I live; I will sing praise to my G‑d while I exist. May my words be pleasing to Him; I will rejoice in the L‑rd. May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the L‑rd, O my soul! Praise the L‑rd!

On both days of Rosh Chodesh Elul, add “By David: The L‑rd is my light” (Psalm 27).
