Hebrew
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתַי
שֶׁלֹּא תַעֲלֶה קִנְאַת אָדָם עָלַי, וְלֹא קִנְאָתִי עַל אֲחֵרִים
וְשֶׁלֹּא אֶכְעַס הַיּוֹם, וְשֶׁלֹּא אַכְעִיסֶךָ
וְתַצִּילֵנִי מִיֵּצֶר הָרָע, וְתֵן בְּלִבִּי הַכְנָעָה וַעֲנָוָה.
מַלְכֵּנוּ וֵאלֹהֵינוּ, יַחֵד שִׁמְךָ בְּעוֹלָמֶךָ
בְּנֵה עִירְךָ, יַסֵּד בֵּיתְךָ וְשַׁכְלֵל הֵיכָלֶךָ
וְקַבֵּץ קִבּוּץ גָּלֻיּוֹת, וּפְדֵה צֹאנֶךָ וְשַׂמַּח עֲדָתֶךָ.

May it be Your will, LORD my God, God of my ancestors, that envy of no man may rise up in me, nor envy of me in any other; that I will not be angry today, nor make You angry; and save me from my evil impulse, placing humility and modesty into my heart. Our King and God, make Your name One in Your world; build up Your city, establish Your House and complete Your Sanctuary, gather in the exiles, redeem Your flock, and have Your congregation rejoice.
Hebrew
עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן יְמִינֶךָ
