(The Following Blessing is broken up in sections for easier learning)

 

Shir ha-ma’alot, beshuv Adonai

et shivas tziyon hayinu ke-cholmim.

Az yimalei sechok pinu ul’eshoneinu rina

az yomru va goyim higdil Adonai la'asot im eileh.

Higdil Adonai la'asot imanu hayinu semeichim.

Shuva Adonai et shivi’seinu ka-afikim ba-negev.

Ha-zorim be-dima be-rina yik’tzoru.

Haloch yeileich u'vacho notei meshech ha-zara,

bo yavo ve-rina notei alumosav.

 (This Audio missing)

A Song of Ascents. When God brought Zion out of captivity, we were like

people in a dream. At the time, our mouths were filled with laughter and our

tongues with cries of joy. At the time it was said among the nations, "God

has done great things for them." God had done great things for us; we were

happy. Let our captivity, God, be a thing of the past, like dried-up streams

in the Negev. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. The one who weeps

as he trails the seed along, will return carrying his sheaves in joyous song.


Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam,

ha-zan et ha-olam kulo be-tuvo

Baruch ata Adonai, ha-zan et ha-kol.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, Sovereign of the world, who provides food for the

entire world in His goodness, with grace, kindness and mercy. He supplies bread for

all living beings, for His kindness is everlasting. Because of His great goodness, we

have never lacked food, nor will we ever lack it on account of His great name. For He

is God who nourishes and sustains all, and is good to all, and who supplies food for

all His creatures which He created. Blessed are You, God, who provides food for all.

be-chol yom uve-chol eit uve-chol sha'ah.

We thank You, Lord our God, for having given an inheritance to our fathers of a lovely,

fine and spacious land, and for having brought us out, Lord our God, from Egypt, and

for rescuing us from slavery, and also for Your covenant which You sealed in our flesh,

as well as for Your Torah which You taught us, and Your laws of which You told us, and

for the life, grace and kindness that You have granted us, and for the food which You

supply and provide for us constantly, every day, every season, and at every hour.


Vi-al ha-kol Adonai Eloheinu

Ka-katuv, ve-achalta ve-savata u-veirachta

Baruch ata Adonai, al ha-aretz vi-al ha-mazon.

So for everything, Lord our God, we thank You and bless You -- may Your name be

blessed by the mouth of all living beings, constantly and eternally. As it is written:

"And you shall eat, and be satisfied, and bless the Lord your God for the good

land that He gave you." Blessed are you, God, for the land and for the food.

Have mercy, Lord our God, on Israel Your people, on Jerusalem Your city, on Zion the

home of your glory, on the kingdom of the house of David, Your anointed one, and on

the great and holy house that is called by Your name. Our God, our Father, look after

us and feed us, give us a livelihood and support us, relieve us, and quickly provide a

respite from all our troubles, Lord our God. And please, let us not be dependent, Lord

our God, on any gift or loan from a human being, but rather on Your hand that is full,

open, holy and generous, so that we should never feel embarrassed or ashamed.


Retzeih ve-hachali’tzeinu Adonai Eloheinu be-mitzvotecha

Be pleased, Lord our God, and strengthen us through Your commandments, [especially]

through the commandment of the seventh day, this great and holy Shabbat.

For this is indeed a great and holy day for You; to rest and be at ease, with loving

concern for the command of Your will. So may it please You to grant us rest, Lord our

God, with no trouble, or unhappiness, or distress on our day of rest. And show us,

Lord our God, the consolation of Zion, Your city, and the building up of Jerusalem,

Your holy city, for you are the Master of redemption and the Master of consolation.


U-veneih Yerushalayim ir ha-kodesh bim’heira ve-yameinu.

Baruch ata Adonai, boneh be-rachamav Yerushalayim. Amen.

And may You build up Jerusalem, the holy city, speedily in our lifetimes.

Blessed are you, God, who in His mercy builds up Jerusalem. Amen.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the world, Almighty who is our Father, our King,

our Mighty One, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Maker, our Holy One, the Holy One of

Jacob our Shepherd, the Shepherd of Israel, the King who is good and does good to all

-- Who each and every day has been good, is good and will be good to us. He gave,

gives, and will always give us grace, kindness and mercy, with relief, deliverance,

success, blessing, salvation, comfort, livelihood, sustenance, mercy, life, peace and

everything that is good. And may He never let us lack anything that is good.

May the Merciful One rule over us forever.

May the Merciful One be blessed in heaven and on earth.

May the Merciful One be praised for all generations, and may He be glorified

through us forever and ever, and may He be honored through us eternally.

May the Merciful One grant us an honorable livelihood.

May the Merciful One break the yoke from our neck and lead us upright to our land.

May the Merciful One send a plentiful blessing to this house and this table

at which we have eaten.

May the Merciful One send us Elijah the prophet, who is remembered for good,

who will bring us good tidings of salvation and comfort.


Harachaman, Hu yevarech oti ve’es kol asher li

Otanu ve’es kol asher lanu, kemo shenisbarchu avoteinu,

Avraham, Yitzchak, veYa'akov: bakol, mikol, kol, ken yevarech

otanu kulanu yachad bivrachah sheleima venomar amen.

May the Merciful One bless

us and all that is ours, like our forefathers Abraham, Isaac

and Jacob were blessed “in everything,” “from everything,” and “with everything” —

so may He bless us, all together, with a complete blessing. And let us say, “Amen.”


Ba-marom yelam’edu aleihem ve-aleinu

Ve-nimtza chein ve-seichel tov be-einei Elohim ve-adam.

May a plea be heard on high, for them and for us, a merit for the security of peace.

And may we receive a blessing from God and righteousness from the God of our

salvation. So may we find favor and understanding in the sight of God and man.


Harachaman, Hu yanchileinu yom shekulo Shabbot

umenuchah lechayei ha’olamim.

May the Merciful One grant us a day which will be a Shabbos in its entirety, and rest for eternal life.


Ha-rachaman hu yezakeinu lee-mot ha-moshiach

ul-chayei ha-olam haba.

May the Merciful One make us worthy of the days of the Messiah

and the life of the world to come.

ve-oseh chesed lim-shicho le-Dovid ule-zaro ad olam.

Oseh shalom bi-meromav hu ya'aseh shalom

aleinu ve-al kol Yisrael, ve-imru amen.

He brings about great victories for His king and shows kindness

to His anointed one, to David and to his descendants forever. He

who makes peace in His high places, may He bring about peace

for us and for all Israel. And say, Amen.


Yeru et Adonai kedoshav ki ein machsor liyrei'av.

Kefirim rashu ve-ra'eivu ve-dor-eshei Adonai lo yachseru chol tov.

Hodu la’Adonai ki tov ki le-olam chasdo.

Na'ar hayiti gam zakanti ve-lo ra'iti

tzaddik ne'ezav ve'zaro mevakeish lachem.

Adonai oz le-amo yitein Adonai yevareich et amo va-shalom.

Have awe of the Lord, you who are His holy ones, for there is nothing lacking

to those who stand in awe of Him. Young lions may suffer want and hunger,

but those who seek God will not lack any good thing. Give thanks to God, for

He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. You open Your hand and satisfy

the desire of all that lives. Blessed is the one who trusts in God, then God will

be his security. I was young and I have become old, and yet I never seen a

deserving man who was destitute, with his children begging for bread. May

God give strength to His people. May God bless His people with peace.
