Afternoon Prayer

Psalm 145:

Prayer 1

A Psalm of praise by David: I will exalt You, my

G-d the King, and bless Your Name forever. Every

Day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever.

The L-rd is great and exceedingly exalted: there is

No limit to His greatness. One generation to another

Will praise 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 tell of Your strength, to make known

To mankind 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 close 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.

“Amidah” (Standing) Prayer

Prayer 2

Blessed are You, G-d, the Supreme Being Who

bestows abundant kindness.

Please endow us graciously with wisdom, under

standing, and knowledge.

Please accept our repentance, and forgive us for

our errors and sins.

Grant complete healing for all our wounds and

ailments.

Bestow upon us all the needs for our sustenance

from Your bounty.

Hasten the day of which it is said: “G-d will be

King over the entire earth; in that day G-d will be

One and His Name One;” “For then I will turn the

peoples to pure language, so that all will call upon

the Name of G-d to serve Him with one purpose;”

and “They will not harm or destroy on all My holy

mountain, for the earth will be filled with

knowledge of G-d as water covering the sea bed.”

Hear our voice, G-d our merciful Father, have

compassion upon us and accept our prayers in

mercy and favor. (Other requests’ may be inserted

here.) Blessed are You, G-d, Who hears prayer.

“Prayer of the Repentant”

Prayer 3

O G-d, I have erred, sinned and willfully

transgressed before You, and I have done that

which is evil in Your eyes, especially with the sin(s)

of ... (quietly state the specific sins or errors).

I am sincerely ashamed of my sins, and I repent

and firmly undertake not to do so again.,

Please G-d, in Your infinite grace and

compassion, forgive my sins and transgressions and

grant me atonement, as it is written: “Let the

wicked abandon his way and the man of iniquity his

thoughts; and let him return unto G-d, and He will

show him compassion, and to our G-d, for He will

pardon abundantly.” And it is written: “Do I

desire at all that the wicked should die, says the

L-rd, G-d; it is rather that he return from his ways

And live!”

Prayer 4

(Bow down and up once, when you say “We bend the knee”)

We bend the knee, bow down, and offer praise,

Before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One

Blessed be He, Who stretches forth the Heavens and

Establishes the earth, the seat of whose glory is in

The heavens above, and the abode of Whose

Majesty is in the loftiest heights. He is our G-d;

There is none else. Truly, He is our King; there us

Nothing besides Him, as it is written in His Torah:

“Know this day and take unto your heart that the

L-rd is G-d; in the Heavens above and upon the

Earth below there is nothing else.”

And therefore we hope to You, L-rd our G-d,

That we may speedily behold the splendor of Your

Might, to banish idolatry from the earth - and false

gods will be utterly destroyed; to perfect the world

Under the sovereignty of the Almighty. All mankind

Shall invoke Your Name, to turn to You all the

Wicked of the earth. Then all the inhabitants of the

World will recognize and know that every knee

Should bend to You, every tongue should swear by

Your Name. Before You, L-rd our G-d, they will

Bow and prostrate themselves, and give honor to the

Glory of Your Name; and they will all take upon

Themselves the yoke of Your kingdom. May You

Soon reign over them forever and ever, for kingship

Is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory,

As it is written in Your Torah: “The L-rd will reign

forever and ever.” And it is said: “The L-rd shall

Be King over the entire earth; on that day the L-rd

Shall be One and His Name One.”
