MUSAF FOR WEEKDAY ROSH CHODESH

Before the Amidah, the chazzan says a chapter of Psalms quietly, followed by Half Kaddish, page 957.
Hebrew
יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. (אָמֵן)
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא כִרְעוּתֵהּ וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ,
וְיַצְמַח פּוּרְקָנֵהּ וִיקָרֵב מְשִׁיחֵהּ. (אָמֵן)
בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל,
בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: (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
וְנֶחָמָתָא, דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן: (אָמֵן)

<b>May God's great name be exalted and holy</b> (Amen) — <b>throughout the universe, which He created as He wanted. May He establish His kingdom over the entire universe, bring His redemption, and speed up the coming of His Mashiach,</b> (Amen) — <b>in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon. And everyone say Amen.</b> (Amen. May God's great name be blessed forever and ever—it will be blessed.) <b>May God's great name be blessed forever and ever. The name of the Holy One, Who is blessed, will be blessed, celebrated, glorified, exalted, raised, honored, uplifted, and praised</b> (Amen) — <b>more than all the blessings, songs, praises, and comforting words that are said in the world. And everyone say Amen.</b> (Amen)
Say the Amidah quietly without any interruption, while standing with your feet together.
Regarding permissible interruptions and responses to prayers, see inside back cover.
Take three steps back, then three steps forward.

<b>Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will tell Your praise.</b>
Bend knees at בָּרוּךְ; bow at אַתָּה; straighten up at יְיָ.

You are our God and the God of our fathers

<b>Blessed are You, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers,</b><sup>1</sup> <b>the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. The great, strong, and awesome God, the God Who is high and acts of kindness, Who creates everything, Who remembers the kindness</b> and good things <b>Patriarchs</b> did, <b>and Who brings a redeemer to redeem their descendants</b> from exile. Even if we do not deserve it, God will lovingly redeem us from exile <b>for the sake of His name</b>—so that everyone will recognize that He is a good and kind God.
Bend knees at בָּרוּךְ; bow at אַתָּה; straighten up at יְיָ.
Hebrew
מֶלֶךְ עוֹזֵר וּמוֹשִׁיעַ וּמָגֵן.

English
You are a <b>King Who helps</b> people do well, Who <b>saves</b> them when they need salvation, and Who is a <b>shield</b> that protects them from trouble. <b>Blessed are You, Lord, the Shield Who protected Abraham.</b>

You revive the dead

Hebrew
אַתָּה גִּבּוֹר לְעוֹלָם אֲדֹנָי,
מְחַיֵּה מֵתִים אַתָּה, רַב
לְהוֹשִׁיעַ.
Sephardi
Atah gibor le'olam Adonai,
mechayeh metim atah, rav
lehoshi'a.
English
Lord, You are <b>strong</b> and <b>powerful</b> forever. Only <b>You</b> have the power to <b>bring the dead back to life.</b> You use Your <b>strength</b> 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.
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.

God kindly <b>provides all living things</b> with what they need, even if they do not deserve it, brings <b>the dead back to life</b> with <b>great mercy, supports those who fall, heals those who are sick, frees those who are imprisoned, and keeps the promise</b> made to the <b>Patriarchs</b>—who have passed away and are buried <b>in the dust</b> of the earth—to protect their children.
