Ribono HaOlamim — Bakasha LeMotzaei Shabbat — A Prayer for the Close of Shabbat

Master of all worlds, Father of mercy and forgiveness,

with good sign and good fortune, begin for us the six days of work

(when a festival falls during the week, say: the days of work)

that are coming toward us in peace,

shielded from all sin and transgression,

cleansed of all iniquity, guilt, and wickedness,

and cleaving to Torah study and good deeds.

Grant us understanding, insight, and wisdom from You,

and let us hear in them joy and gladness;

may no envy of ours rise in any person's heart,

and may no person's envy rise within our hearts.

Our King, our God, merciful Father,

set blessing, ease, and success in all the work of our hands.

And all who counsel good counsel and good thought

toward us and toward Your people, the house of Israel —

strengthen them and bless them, make them great and uphold them; fulfill their counsel.

As it is said: May He give you what your heart desires, and fulfill your every plan;

and it is said: You will decree a word and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your paths.

And all who counsel toward us and toward all Your people, the house of Israel

counsel that is not good and thought that is not good —

frustrate their counsel.

As it is said: Adonai has frustrated the counsel of nations, foiled the plans of peoples;

and it is said: Devise a plan — it will be foiled; speak a word — it will not stand, for God is with us.

Open for us, Adonai our God, Father of mercy, Master of forgiveness,

in this week and in every week —

As it is written: The salvation of the righteous is from Adonai, their stronghold in time of trouble;

Adonai helped them and delivered them, delivered them from the wicked and saved them, for they took shelter in Him.

And it is said: Adonai has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations,

and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

And it is said: The voice of your watchmen — they lift their voice, they sing together,

for eye to eye they shall see when Adonai returns to Zion.

And fulfill for us, Adonai our God, what is written:

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the herald,

who announces peace, brings good tidings, announces salvation,

who says to Zion: Your God reigns.

A herald to Zion — behold, here they are,

and to Jerusalem I will send a herald.

Amen, selah.
