Please, O Yehovah, God of Israel, may it be Thy will to look from Thy holy dwelling in heaven with mercy and see the greatness of my suffering, affliction, and humiliation. When my soul fainteth within me, cast me not off from before Thee. When my strength faileth, save me in Thy mercy from all my debts, forgive all my iniquities, and pardon all my transgressions. End my years in pleasantness, and have pity and mercy upon me and upon my entire family. Please cause me to have success in my current plans and endeavors, and guard me in this city from evil men, from violent persons, and from the wicked people of the generation. Likewise, save me from the terror of the strife of the wicked, who provoke upon the roads and gloat in the cities; save me from them. Make me not depend upon any man nor upon the hand of any flesh and blood. Open before me Thy full and generous hand, give peace among us, and send blessing upon all our works. Feed us our allotted bread, and give us food to eat and clothing to wear, for we depend upon Thee, and in Thy great and holy name do we trust and seek shelter. Assist me to purify myself, O merciful and gracious God.

Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults. Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O Yehovah, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:11–14 [12–15 Heb.]
