The Afternoon Prayer I will praise You, my God, O king; and I will bless Your name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless You; One generation shall praise Your works to another. I will speak of the glorious honor of Your majesty, and of Your wondrous works. They shall abundantly utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. Our LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. Our LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All the people shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Our LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that be bowed down. You open Your hand, and satisfies the desire of every living thing. Our LORD is close unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. Our LORD protects all them that love him; The LORD is righteous in all his ways. My mouth shall declare the praise of the LORD: and we will bless his holy Name forever, Halleluyah! The Amidah Patriarchs Blessed are You, O LORD our God and God of
our
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac and the
God of Jacob, the great, mighty and revered God, the Most High God who
bestows
loving kindnesses, the creator of all things, who remembers the good
deeds of
the patriarchs and in love will bring a redeemer to their children's
children
for his name's sake. O king, helper, savior and shield. Blessed are You, O LORD, the shield of
Abraham. God’s might You, O LORD, are mighty
forever, You
revive the dead, You have the power to save. You sustain the living with
loving kindnesses, You revive the dead with great
mercy; You support the falling, heal the sick, set free the bound and
keep
faith with
those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, O doer of
mighty acts?
Who resembles You, a king who puts to death and restores to life, and
causes
salvation to flourish? And You are certain to revive the dead. Blessed are You, O LORD, who
revives the
dead. Forgiveness Forgive us, O our Father, for

and

* At this point, one may interject a prayer
for one who is ill: May it be Your will, O LORD
my God, and the God of my forefathers,
that You quickly send a complete recovery from heaven, spiritual
healing and
physical healing to the patient (name) son/daughter of (mother's name)
among
the other patients of Israel. Answer our prayers Hear our voice, O LORD, our
God; spare
us and have pity on us. Accept our prayer in mercy and with favor, for
You are
a God who hears prayers and supplications. O
our King,
do not turn us away from Your presence empty-handed, for You hear the
prayers
of Your people Israel with compassion. Blessed are You, O LORD, who
hears
prayer. Thanksgiving We give thanks to You that You are the LORD
our God
and the God of our fathers forever and ever. Through every generation
You have
been the rock of our lives, the shield of our salvation. We will give
You
thanks and declare Your praise for our lives that are committed into
Your
hands, for our souls that are entrusted to You, for Your miracles that
are
daily with us, and for Your wonders and Your benefits that are with us
at all
times, evening, morning and noon.O beneficent one, Your mercies never
fail; O
merciful one, O our King, forever and ever. Let every
living thing give
thanks to You and praise Your name in
truth, O God,
our salvation and our help. (Selah.) Blessed are You, O LORD, whose
Name is
the Beneficent One, and to whom it is fitting to give thanks. Peace My God, 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 everyone. Open my heart to
Your
Torah, then my soul will pursue Your commandments. As for all those who
design
evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and disrupt their
design.
Act for Your Name's sake; act for Your right hand's sake; act for Your
sanctity's sake; act for Your Torah's sake. That Your beloved ones may
be given
rest; let Your right hand save, and respond to me. May they be
acceptable the
words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart, before You Adonoy, my
rock and
my redeemer. He Who makes peace in His high may
He make peace among us and upon all Israel... Amen. Aleinu It is our job to praise the Master of
everything,
and to give greatness to the Creator of the beginning, for He has not
made us
like the nations of the lands, and He has not made us like the families
of the
earth, for He has not made our portion like theirs, and our lot like
their
populations (for they bow to nonsense and emptiness, and they pray to a
God who
cannot save) while we kneel, bow, and give thanks to the King of
Emperors, the
Holy One, Blessed is He. For He stretches out the sky and establishes
the earth, and
the dwelling place of His honor is in the skies above and the presence
of His
power is in the highest heights. He is our God, there is no other. It
is truth.
There is nothing without our King. As it says in the Torah, "Today You
shall know and take to heart that the LORD
is the God, in the skies above and on the earth
below, there is no
other." |
