Berakhot 17a

Hebrew

אֱלֹהַי
נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנִי מֵרָע וּשְׂפָתַי מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָה.
וְלִמְקַלְלַי נַפְשִׁי תִדֹּם, וְנַפְשִׁי כֶּעָפָר לַכֹּל תִּהְיֶה.
פְּתַח לִבִּי בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ, וְאַחֲרֵי מִצְוֹתֶיךָ תִּרְדֹּף נַפְשִׁי.
וְכָל הַקָּמִים וְהַחוֹשְׁבִים עָלַי רָעָה
מְהֵרָה הָפֵר עֲצָתָם וְקַלְקֵל מַחֲשַׁבְתָּם.

Sephardi

Elohai
Netzor leshoni mera usefatai midaber mirmah.
Velimkalelai nafshi tidom, venafshi ke'afar lakol tihyeh.
Petach libi beToratecha, ve'acharei mitzvotecha tirdof nafshi.
Vechol hakamim vehachoshvim alai ra'ah
Meheirah hafer atzatam vekalkel machashavtam.

English

My God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from deceitful speech. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; may my soul be to all like the dust. Open my heart to Your Torah and let my soul pursue Your commandments. As for all who rise up or plan evil against me, swiftly thwart their counsel and frustrate their plans.

Some add this prayer:

Hebrew

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתַי
שֶׁלֹּא תַעֲלֶה קִנְאַת אָדָם עָלַי, וְלֹא קִנְאָתִי עַל אֲחֵרִים
וְשֶׁלֹּא אֶכְעֹס 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.

Sephardi

Yehi ratzon milefanecha Adonai Elohai veilohei avotai
Shelo ta'ale kin'at adam alai, velo kin'ati al acherim
Veshelo ech'os hayom, veshelo ach'isecha
Vetatzileni miyetzar hara, veten belibi hachna'ah va'anavah.
Malkenu veElohenu, yached shimcha be'olamecha
Bene ircha, yased betecha veshachlel heichalecha
Vekabetz kibutz galuyot, ufedeh tzonecha vesamach adatecha.

English

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
עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן תּוֹרָתֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.

Sephardi

Ase lema'an shemecha, ase lema'an yeminecha

שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ, וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ
וְשָׁם נַעֲבָדְךָ בְּיִרְאָה כִּימֵי עוֹלָם וּכְשָׁנִים קַדְמֹנִיּוֹת.
וְעָרְבָה לַיהֹוָה מִנְחַת יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם כִּימֵי עוֹלָם וּכְשָׁנִים קַדְמֹנִיּוֹת:

Ve'arvah lAdonai minchat Yehudah viYerushalayim kimei olam uveshanim kadmoniyot:

English

May it be Your will, LORD our God and God of our ancestors, that the Temple be rebuilt speedily in our days, and grant us a share in Your Torah. And there we will serve You with reverence, as in the days of old and as in former years. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years.

On Rosh Hodesh, Hol HaMo'ed and Hanukka, the service continues with Hallel on page 776.
