אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּאַהֲבָה וּבְרָצוֹן שַׁבַּת קָדְשֶׁךָ,
וְיָנוּחוּ בָהּ כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁמֶךָ. בָּרוּךְ
אַתָּה יְיָ, מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַּׁבָּת:
Sephardi
Eloheinu be'ahavah u-ve-ratzon Shabbat kodshecha,
ve-yanuchu vah kol Yisrael mekadshei shemecha. Baruch
Atah Adonai, mekadesh hashabbat:
English
serve You honestly and truthfully. Lord, our God, give us Your holy Shabbat as an inheritance—an everlasting gift—lovingly and willingly. All the Children of Israel, who make Your name holy, will rest on Shabbat. Blessed are You, Lord, Who makes Shabbat holy.
The chazzan says Complete Kaddish. For transliteration, see page 954.

And everyone say Amen. (Amen. May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever—it will be blessed.) May God’s great name be blessed forever and ever.

Hebrew

God watches over us as a shepherd watches over his sheep

Hebrew
מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, יְיָ רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר: בִּנְאוֹת
דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי, עַל מֵי מְנֻחוֹת
יְנַהֲלֵנִי: נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב, יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי צֶדֶק
לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ: גַּם כִּי אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא
אִירָא רָע, כִּי אַתָּה עִמָּדִי, שִׁבְטְךָ
וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי: תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי
שֻׁלְחָן נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי, דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי,
כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה: אַךְ טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי כָּל יְמֵי
חַיָּי, וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית יְיָ לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים:
Sephardi
Mizmor ledavid, Adonai ro’i lo echsar: bin’ot
deshe yarbitzeni, al mei menuchot
yenahaleni: nafshi yeshovev, yancheini b’ma’gelei tzedek
lema'an shemo: gam ki elech b’gei tzalmavet lo
ira ra, ki Atah imadi, shivtekha
u-mishantekha hemah yenachamuni: ta’arokh lefanai
shulchan neged tzorerai, dishanta va-shemen roshi,
kosi revayah: ach tov vachesed yirdefuni kol yemei
chayai, veshavti beveit Adonai le-orekh yamim:
English
The following song was composed by King David: the Lord is my shepherd Who takes care of me. I am sure that I will not lack anything. He makes me lie down in comfortable green grass, as a shepherd does with his sheep, and He leads me peacefully, as if I am walking along calm waters. He always refreshes my soul. He directs me along the path of righteousness in order to bring honor to His name. Even when I walk in a dangerous place, like the valley of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid that bad things will happen, because You are with me. Your help and kindness are like a supporting walking stick and staff that protect and comfort me. You will set up a table for me in front of my enemies, filled with all the best things, and they will see that I have become successful. You have anointed me with oil to make me king, and my cup is full with everything I need. From now on, may only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life, so I will not suffer anymore. May I sit in the House of the Lord and serve Him peacefully for many long years.
The chazzan says Half Kaddish. For transliteration, see page 953.

Sephardi
Bar’chu et Adonai hamevorach:
English
Let us now bless the Lord, Who is blessed:
The congregation and chazzan say the following, bowing at בָּרוּךְ and standing upright at יְיָ:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ יְיָ הַמְבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
Sephardi
Baruch Adonai hamevorach le'olam va'ed:
English
Blessed is the Lord, Who is blessed, forever and ever.
