Destroy my enemies and open my heart to Your Torah and commandments
Hebrew
נַפְשִׁי תִדּוֹם, וְנַפְשִׁי כֶּעָפָר
לַכֹּל תִּהְיֶה. פְּתַח לִבִּי
בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ, וּבְמִצְוֹתֶיךָ תִּרְדֹּף
נַפְשִׁי, וְכָל הַחוֹשְׁבִים עָלַי
רָעָה, מְהֵרָה הָפֵר עֲצָתָם
וְקַלְקֵל מַחֲשַׁבְתָּם. יִהְיוּ
כְּמֹץ לִפְנֵי רוּחַ וּמַלְאַךְ יְיָ
דֹּחֶה. לְמַעַן יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ,
הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵנִי. עֲשֵׂה
לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן
יְמִינֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן תּוֹרָתֶךָ,
עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.

<b>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.
Hebrew
יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי
לְפָנֶיךָ, יְיָ צוּרִי וְגוֹאֲלִי:
Sephardi
Yihyu leratzon imrei fi vehegyon libi

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.
On the Shabbat before 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:

Oseh (hashalom) shalom bimromav,
hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu
ve'al kol Yisrael, ve'imru amen:
English
May God, <b>Who makes</b> (the) <b>peace in His heavens, make peace for us and for all the Children of Israel, and everyone say Amen.</b>
Rebuild the Holy Temple speedily
Hebrew
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ,
שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ, וְתֵן

Sephardi
Yehi ratzon milfanekha, Adonai Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu,

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 Rosh Chodesh, Chol Hamoed, and Chanukah, Hallel is said at this point, page 530.
The silent Amidah ends here.
In the presence of a minyan, the chazzan repeats the Amidah, starting on page 378. The congregation should listen carefully to the chazzan and respond אָמֵן after each blessing. It is also customary to respond בָּרוּךְ הוּא וּבָרוּךְ שְׁמוֹ each time the chazzan says בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ.
The chazzan says Complete Kaddish. For transliteration, see page 954.
Hebrew
