Who am I, but dust and ashes, maggot and worm, vain and empty, that I may be worthy to stand in prayer before the great and awesome King, sublime and exalted is His name, the King of emperors, the Holy One of Israel, the First and the Last; but I am dependent upon His great mercy and His magnificent grace,¹⁶ for He has mercy upon His creations and accepts the prayers and supplications of His servants, as it is written:

קָרוֹב יְהוָה לְכָל קֹרְאָיו | לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאֻהוּ בֶאֱמֶת׃ רְצוֹן יְרֵאָיו יַעֲשֶׂה | וְאֶת שַׁוְעָתָם יִשְׁמַע וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם׃

How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Yehovah of hosts! My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of Yehovah; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O Yehovah of hosts, my King, and my God. Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah. Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways. Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings. They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. O Yehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.¹ For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For Yehovah God is a sun and a shield; Yehovah giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Yehovah of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee. Psalm 84:1–12 [2–13 Heb.]

And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

וַיַּקְהֵל מֹשֶׁה אֶת כָּל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם | אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָם׃ שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תֵּעָשֶׂה מְלָאכָה וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי יִהְיֶה לָכֶם קֹדֶשׁ שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן לַיהוָה | כָּל הָעֹשֶׂה בוֹ מְלָאכָה יוּמָת׃ לֹא תְבַעֲרוּ אֵשׁ בְּכֹל מֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם | בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת׃

And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: “These are the words which Yehovah hath commanded, that ye should do them. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Yehovah; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire⁵ throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.” Exodus 35:1–3

And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying: Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: My food which is presented unto Me for offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in its due season. And thou shalt say unto them: This is the offering made by fire which ye shall bring unto Yehovah: he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at dusk; and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt-offering, which was offered in mount Sinai, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto Yehovah. And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb; in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink⁸ unto Yehovah. And the other lamb shalt thou present at dusk; as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt present it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yehovah.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love Yehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and bow down unto them; and the anger of Yehovah be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not yield her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Yehovah giveth you. Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which Yehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. Deuteronomy 11:13–21

And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying: “Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments, and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue. And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Yehovah, and do them; and that ye go not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray; that ye may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your God. I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yehovah your God.” Numbers 15:37–41

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.]

Blessed be Thy name, O God of gods, and Lord of lords. Thou didst create me in Thy great mercy, didst breathe into me the breath of life, and gavest me wisdom and understanding to declare Thy mighty acts and to sing Thy wonders. Because Thou art He that createth and formeth all souls, who sustaineth and provideth for all, who taketh away life in justice and giveth life through lovingkindness and great mercy, therefore, as long as my breath is within me, I am obliged to give thanks to Thy holy name, to praise Thy glory. Thou art Yehovah, Thou alone, an exalted King with a multitude of glory and praise, extolled and sanctified in heaven and on earth. Now if I have found favor in Thine eyes, receive my supplication and grant my request; do not scorn my prayer nor leave me frustrated. Hide not Thy face from me; for I am in distress; answer me speedily. I have no father but Thee; I have no one but Thee, and there is none that bringeth help to my soul besides Thee; for in Thy hand is power and might; and in Thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O Yehovah, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14 [15 Heb.]
