Hebrew

אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדְתָא דִמְהֵימָנוּתָא שְׁלִימְתָא, חֶדְוָתָא דְמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא. אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדְתָא
דְמַלְכָּא. דָּא הִיא סְעוּדְתָא דְעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין וְחַקַל תַּפּוּחִין קַדִּישִׁין אַתְיָן
לְסַעֲדָה בַּהֲדָהּ.

English

Prepare the feast of perfect faith, joy of the holy King. Prepare the royal feast. This is the feast [mystically known as] “the Holy Ancient One” – and “the Small Face” and “the Field of Holy Apples” [mystical terms for aspects of the Divine] come to partake in the feast with it.

Hebrew

אֲסַדֵּר לִסְעוּדְתָא בְּצַפְרָא דְשַׁבְּתָא
וְאַזְמִין בַּהּ הַשְׁתָּא עַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא.
וְנָהוֹרָה יִשְׁרֵי בַהּ בְּקִדּוּשָׁא רַבָּה
וּמֵחַמְרָא טָבָא דְבֵהּ תֶּחֱדֵי נַפְשָׁא.
וְיִשְׁדַּר לָן שׁוּפְרֵהּ וְנֶחֱזֵי בִּיקָרֵהּ
וִיחַוֵּי לָן סִתְרֵהּ דְמִתְאַמַּר בִּלְחִישָׁא.
וִיגַלֵּה לָן טַעֲמֵי דְבִתְרֵיסַר נַהֲמֵי
דְאִנּוּן אָת בִּשְׁמֵהּ כְּפִילָה וּקְלִישָׁא.
צַוָּארָא דִלְעֵלָּא דְבֵהּ חֵי כֹלָּא
וְיִתְרַבֵּי חֵילָא וְתִסַּק עַד רֵישָׁא.
חֲדוּ חַצְדֵי חַקְלָא בְּדִבּוּר וּבְקָלָא
וּמַלִּילוּ מִלָּה מְתִיקָא כִּדְבַשָׁא.
קֳדָם רִבּוֹן עָלְמִין בְּמִלִּין סְתִימִין
תְּגַלּוּן פִּתְגָמִין וְתֵימְרוּן חִדּוּשָׁא.
לְעַטֵּר פְּתוֹרָא בְּרָזָא יַקִירָא
עַמִּיקָא וּטְמִירָא וְלָאו מִלְּתָא אַוְשָׁא.
וְאִלֵּין מִלַּיָּא יְהוֹן לִרְקִיעַיָּא
חַדְתִּין וּשְׁמַיָּא בְּגַו הַהוּא שִׁמְשָׁא.
רְבוּ יַתִּיר יִסְגֵּי לְעֵלָּא מִן דַּרְגֵּהּ
וְיִסַּב בַּת זוּגֵהּ דַּהֲוָת פְּרִישָׁא.

Asader liseudata betzafra deShabbata

Umechamra tava deveh techedei nafsha.

I will prepare the Sabbath morning feast, and invite to it “the Holy Ancient One.” May His radiance shine on it, on the great Kiddush and goodly wine that gladdens the soul. May He send us His splendor; may we see His glory; may He reveal to us His whispered secrets. May He disclose to us the reason for the twelve loaves of bread, which are [the twelve combinations of the letters of ] His name, and [the twelve sons of Jacob] the youngest patriarch. May we be united with the One above, who gives life to all; may our strength increase and [our prayers] reach [God’s] head. Laborers in the field [of Torah] rejoice with speech and voice, speaking words sweet as honey. Before the Master of the Universe, reveal the meaning of, and give new interpretations to, matters veiled in mystery. To adorn the table with precious secrets, deep, esoteric, not widely to be shared. These words will become a firmament; new heavens, and then [the Glorious One] will be the sun. He will be lifted to a higher level, and take again His bride, from whom He has been separated.

Hebrew

חַי יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי, בַּיהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי, כִּי יְהוָה יָאִיר נֵרִי, בְּהִלּוֹ נֵרוֹ עֲלֵי רֹאשִׁי.
יְהוָה רוֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר, עַל מֵי מְנוּחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי, נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל בָּשָׂר, לֶחֶם חֻקִּי הַטְרִיפֵנִי.
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי קְדוֹשִׁי, תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי שֻׁלְחָנְךָ, תְּדַשֵּׁן בַּשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי.
מִי יִתֵּן מְנוּחָתִי, לִפְנֵי אֲדוֹן הַשָּׁלוֹם, וְהָיְתָה שְׁלֵמָה מִטָּתִי, הַחַיִּים וְהַשָּׁלוֹם.
יִשְׁלַח מַלְאָכוֹ לְפָנַי, לְלַוּוֹתִי לְוָיָה, בְּכוֹס יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא פָנַי, מְנָת כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה.
צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי אֶל יְהוָה, יְמַלֵּא שֶׂבַע אֲסָמַי, אֶל הֶהָרִים אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי, כְּהִלֵּל וְלֹא כְשַׁמַּאי.
חֲדוֹת יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת עוֹלָמִים, עוּרָה כְבוֹדִי עוּרָה, וְעַל רֹאשִׁי יִהְיוּ תָמִים,
נֵר מִצְוָה וְאוֹר תּוֹרָה.
קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתִי, אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּךָ, קַח נָא אֵל אֶת בִּרְכָתִי, וְהַחֲזֵק מָגֵן חוֹזֶךָ.

Chai Adonai uvaruch tzuri, baadonai tit'halel nafshi, ki Adonai ya'ir neri, behilo nero alei roshi.

The LORD lives; my Rock is blessed. My soul glories in the LORD. For the LORD gives light to my lamp; His radiance shines on my head. The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me beside the still waters. He gives food to all flesh; He feeds me my daily bread. May it be Your will, You, my holy God, To prepare a table before me, to anoint my head with oil. Who will lay my rest before the LORD of peace, and grant that my children stay faithful, [blessed with] life and peace? May He send His angel before me, to accompany me on the way. I lift my face with a cup of salvation; my cup is filled to overflowing. My soul thirsts for God; may He fill my store with plenty. I lift my eyes to the sages, [celebrating Shabbat] like Hillel, not Shammai. Most delightful of days and eternity’s years; awake, my soul, awake. Above my head let there shine as one, the lamp of the commandments and the Torah’s light. Advance, LORD, to where I rest; You and Your mighty Ark. Please, God, take my blessing and strengthen the shield of Your seer.

Ps. 23

Hebrew

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, יְהוָה רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר: בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי, עַל־מֵי מְנֻחוֹת
יְנַהֲלֵנִי: נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב, יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶדֶק לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ: גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא

A psalm of David. The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He refreshes my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You set a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup is filled to overflowing. May goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life, and may I live in the House of the LORD for evermore.
