On Shabbat Shuva:

Hebrew

בְּסֵפֶר חַיִּים, בְּרָכָה וְשָׁלוֹם, וּפַרְנָסָה טוֹבָה
וּגְזֵרוֹת טוֹבוֹת, יְשׁוּעוֹת וְנֶחָמוֹת
נִזָּכֵר וְנִכָּתֵב לְפָנֶיךָ
אֲנַחְנוּ וְכָל עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל
לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים וּלְשָׁלוֹם.

Sephardi

Besefer chayim, berachah veshalom, ufarnasah tovah
ugzerot tovot, yeshuot venechamot
nizacher venikatev lefanecha
anachnu vechol amecha Beit Yisrael
lechayim tovim uleshalom.

English

In the book of life, blessing, peace and prosperity, and good decrees, salvations and consolations, may we and all Your people the house of Israel be remembered and written before You for a good life, and for peace.

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, הַמְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּשָּׁלוֹם.

Sephardi

Baruch atah Adonai, hamevarech et amo Yisrael bashalom.

English

Blessed are You, LORD, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

The following verse concludes the Leader’s Repetition of the Amida. Some also say it here as part of the silent Amida. See law 369.

Ps. 19

Hebrew

יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי־פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִי:

Sephardi

Yihyu leratzon imrei-fi vehegyon libi lefanecha Adonai tzuri vego'ali:

English

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart find favor before You, LORD, my Rock and Redeemer.

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 מַחְשַׁבְתָּם.

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 machshavtam.

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 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.

Sephardi

Yehi ratzon milefanecha, Adonai Elohai veilohei avotai
shelo ta'ale kin'at adam alai, velo kin'ati al acherim
veshelo echas hayom, veshelo ach'isecha
vetatzileni miyetzer hara, veten belibi hachna'ah va'anavah.
Malkeinu veiloheinu, yached shimcha be'olamecha
bene ircha, yased beitcha 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
ase lema'an Toratecha, ase lema'an kedushatecha.

English

Act for the sake of Your name; act for the sake of Your right hand; act for the sake of Your Torah; act for the sake of Your holiness.

Ps. 60

Hebrew

לְמַעַן יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ, הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵנִי:
