Save me from the sin of speaking negatively about someone
Destroy my enemies and open my heart to Your Torah and commandments
Hebrew
אֱלֹהַי, נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנִי מֵרָע,
וּשְׂפָתַי מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָה,
וּלְמְקַלְּלַי נַפְשִׁי תִדּוֹם, וְנַפְשִׁי
כֶּעָפָר לַכֹּל תִּהְיֶה. פְּתַח לִבִּי
בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ, וּבְמִצְוֹתֶיךָ תִּרְדֹּף
נַפְשִׁי, וְכָל הַחוֹשְׁבִים עָלַי
רָעָה, מְהֵרָה הָפֵר עֲצָתָם
וְקַלְקֵל מַחֲשַׁבְתָּם. יִהְיוּ כְמֹץ
לִפְנֵי רוּחַ וּמַלְאַךְ יְיָ דֹּחֶה. לְמַעַן
יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ, הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ
וַעֲנֵנִי. עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה
לְמַעַן יְמִינְךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן
תּוֹרָתֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.

<b>My God, guard my tongue from</b> saying <b>bad things, and prevent my lips from speaking dishonestly. Let my soul be quiet and ignore those who curse me; let my soul be as</b> humble <b>as dust before everyone. Open my heart to Your Torah</b> so that I will understand it properly, and let <b>my soul</b> always <b>chase after Your commandments. Quickly cancel the ideas</b> of any people thinking of doing <b>evil to me, and ruin their plans. Let them be like chaff</b>—the small, inedible shells of grain—that flies away <b>in the wind, and let the angel of the Lord push them away. Help me with Your right hand, and answer my</b> prayers <b>in order to save</b> the Jewish Nation, <b>Your precious</b> nation, from trouble. <b>Do it in</b> order to make <b>Your name</b> great, so that everyone will recognize that You are a great God; do it in order to strengthen <b>Your right hand,</b> Whose glory has become weakened during exile; do it in order to reveal the greatness of <b>Your Torah;</b> do it in order to increase <b>Your holiness</b> in this world.
It is customary to say a verse (or verses) associated with your name(s) at this point. See page 939 for a list of verses.
Accept our prayers
Hebrew
יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי
לְפָנֶיךָ, יְיָ צוּרִי וְגוֹאֲלִי:
Sephardi
Yihyu leratzon imrei fi vehegyon libi
lefanecha, Adonai tzuri vego'ali:
English
<b>May the words</b> of the prayers that came <b>from my mouth, and the thoughts of my heart, be acceptable to You—Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.</b>
Bow forward and take three steps back. Bow to the left while saying עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו; bow forward while saying הוּא; bow to the right while saying יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ; and bow forward again while saying וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
From Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur, say הַשָּׁלוֹם instead of שָׁלוֹם.
Grant peace to the Jewish Nation
Hebrew
עֹשֶׂה (הַשָּׁלוֹם) שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו,
הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ
וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ

English
<b>May it be Your will, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, that the Holy Temple should be built speedily in our days,</b> and that <b>You give us our portion in Your Torah,</b> so we will be able to learn it properly.
On weeknights, the chazzan says Complete Kaddish page 242.
At the conclusion of Shabbat, unless a festival will occur during the coming week, the chazzan says Half Kaddish (for transliteration, see page 953) and then the following is added.
Hebrew
יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. (אָמֵן)
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ,
וְיַצְמַח פּוּרְקָנֵהּ וִיקָרֵב מְשִׁיחֵהּ. (אָמֵן)
בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית

(אָמֵן, יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא יִתְבָּרַךְ)
יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי
עָלְמַיָּא. יִתְבָּרַךְ, וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח, וְיִתְפָּאַר,
וְיִתְרוֹמַם, וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא, וְיִתְהַדָּר, וְיִתְעַלֶּה,
וְיִתְהַלָּל, שְׁמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. (אָמֵן)
לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל בִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא,
תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא, דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא,
