Bend knees at בָּרוּךְ; bow at אַתָּה; straighten up at יְיָ.
Hebrew
מֶלֶךְ עוֹזֵר וּמוֹשִׁיעַ וּמָגֵן. בָּרוּךְ
אַתָּה יְיָ, מָגֵן אַבְרָהָם:
Sephardi
Melech ozer umoshi'a umagen. Baruch
Atah Adonai, magen Avraham:
English
You are a King Who helps people do well, Who saves them when they need salvation, and Who is a shield that protects them from trouble. Blessed are You, Lord, the Shield Who protected Abraham.
You revive the dead
Hebrew
אַתָּה גִבּוֹר לְעוֹלָם אֲדֹנָי, מְחַיֵּה
מֵתִים אַתָּה, רַב לְהוֹשִׁיעַ.
Sephardi
Atah gibor le'olam Adonai, mechayeh
metim Atah, rav lehoshi'a.
English
אַתָּה Lord, You are strong and powerful forever. Only You have the power to bring the dead back to life. You use Your strength to save people.
During the northern winter (between Shemini Atzeret and the first day of Pesach), say מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם.
During the northern summer (between the first day of Pesach and Shemini Atzeret), say מוֹרִיד הַטָּל.
Summer:
English
You cause the dew to come down.
Winter:
Hebrew
מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ
וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם:<sup>1</sup>
Sephardi
Mashiv ha-ruach
u-morid ha-geshem:<sup>1</sup>
English
You cause the wind to blow and the rain to come down.<sup>1</sup>
If you said מוֹרִיד הַטָּל during the winter, it is not necessary to go back and correct the error. If you said מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם during the summer and realized the mistake before completing the blessing, return to the beginning of the blessing. If you realized the mistake after saying God’s name at the end of the blessing, begin the Amidah again.
Hebrew
מְכַלְכֵּל חַיִּים בְּחֶסֶד, מְחַיֵּה
מֵתִים בְּרַחֲמִים רַבִּים, סוֹמֵךְ
נוֹפְלִים, וְרוֹפֵא חוֹלִים, וּמַתִּיר
אֲסוּרִים, וּמְקַיֵּם אֱמוּנָתוֹ לִישֵׁנֵי
עָפָר. מִי כָמוֹךָ בַּעַל גְּבוּרוֹת,
וּמִי דּוֹמֶה לָּךְ, מֶלֶךְ מֵמִית
וּמְחַיֶּה וּמַצְמִיחַ יְשׁוּעָה:

asurim, u-mekayyem emunato lisheinei
afar. Mi chamocha ba'al gevurot,
umi domeh lach, melech memit
u-mechayyeh u-matzmiach yeshu'ah:
English
God kindly provides all living things with what they need, even if they do not deserve it, brings the dead back to life with great mercy, supports those who fall, heals those who are sick, frees those who are imprisoned, and keeps the promise made to the Patriarchs—who have passed away and are buried in the dust of the earth—to protect their children. God, who is like You; who is so mighty and powerful? And who can be compared to You, God, our King, Who causes people to die and brings the dead back to life, and Who causes His salvation to grow like a protective tree for the Jewish Nation?
On the Shabbat before Yom Kippur, add the following. If omitted, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah.
You give life to all creations
Hebrew
מִי כָמוֹךָ אַב הָרַחֲמִים זוֹכֵר יְצוּרָיו

Sephardi
Vene'eman Atah lehachayot metim.

English
You are trustworthy, and we are certain that You will bring the dead back to life. Blessed are You, Lord, Who brings the dead back to life.
KEDUSHAH

Congregation then chazzan:
The angels and the Jewish Nation praise God together
Hebrew
כֶּתֶר יִתְּנוּ לְךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מַלְאָכִים

English
כֶּתֶר A crown is given to You, Lord, our God, by the many angels in heaven above and by Your nation, the Children of Israel, who gather together on earth below to praise You. All of them together will repeat three times the word “holy” to You. As is written by Your prophet Isaiah: Each angel calls out to the other, so they can start together, and they say:
Congregation then chazzan:

English
The Lord, the God of all creations, is holy in the spiritual worlds, holy in the physical world, and holy at all times, forever and ever. The entire earth is filled with His glory. God’s glory fills the universe. The angels who serve Him ask each other: Where is the highest place of His glory,<sup>2</sup> so that we can go there and praise Him? Facing the Serafim angels, the other angels also praise God and say:
Congregation then chazzan:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד יְיָ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ: מִמְּקוֹמוֹ הוּא

English
May the glory of the Lord be blessed from its place. May God turn from His place with His mercy toward the Jewish Nation, His people, who declare the Oneness of His name in the morning and evening, twice, each day, forever, by lovingly saying the Shema:
Congregation then chazzan: (The chazzan says the first two words together with the congregation.)
Hebrew
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְיָ אֶחָד:

English
Every Jew should listen and understand that the Lord is our God, and that the Lord is the one and only ruler and King in the seven heavens, the earth, and the four corners of the universe. He is our God; He is our Father; He is our King; He is our Savior; He will save us and redeem us again soon, as He did in Egypt. In His mercy, He will announce for us to hear, before the eyes of every living thing, and say: Indeed, I have redeemed you from this final exile, just as I redeemed you from the first exile in Egypt. I have redeemed you in order to be a God for You.
