Tefillah le-Zivug – The Prayer for a Soulmate (for Women)

Psalm 121: A Song of Ascents — I lift my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?

My help comes from Adonai, Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip; your Guardian will not slumber.

Behold, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.

Adonai is your Guardian; Adonai is your shade at your right hand.

By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night.

Adonai will guard you from all harm; He will guard your soul.

Adonai will guard your going and your coming, from this time forth and forever.

Psalm 130: A Song of Ascents — From the depths I call out to You, Adonai.

Adonai, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my pleading.

If You kept account of iniquities, Yah — Adonai — who could stand?

But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be held in awe.

I wait for Adonai; my soul waits, and for His word I hope.

My soul waits for Adonai more than watchmen wait for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

Let Israel hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is steadfast love, and with Him abundant redemption.

And He will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

May it be Your will before You, Adonai our God and God of our forefathers,

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh — I Am That I Am — God Most High,

That You remove from me all obstacles and hindrances,

That You cause my light to shine and raise my fortune,

And that You deal with me in righteousness and steadfast love

And send to me my destined partner, the one my heart chooses,

For You are the One who seats the solitary in a home, who brings the bound into freedom.

Answer me, Adonai, for Your steadfast love is good; in Your great compassion, turn to me,

And just as You found for the first human being his partner at the fitting time and moment,

As it is written: It is not good for the human to be alone; I will make him a helper as his counterpart —

So too grant me the merit and strengthen my hand so that I may be worthy to build a home in Israel, a lasting and enduring household,

And may that home be blessed and successful in spiritual and material life,

As it is written: Through wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established,

And through knowledge its rooms are filled with all precious and beautiful treasure.

And may there dwell in our home always love and kinship, peace and friendship,

And fulfill in me: May there be peace within your walls, tranquility within your palaces,

And likewise: May the heart of those who seek Adonai rejoice.

Remember Your compassion, Adonai, and Your acts of steadfast love, for they are from of old.

Show us Your steadfast love, Adonai, and grant us Your salvation.

And bless me, please, with the blessing written in Your Torah:

May Adonai bless you and keep you;

May Adonai make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

May Adonai lift His face toward you and grant you peace —

And they shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

And may my sins, my iniquities, and my transgressions not withhold goodness from me,

And may You grant me the merit to repair them through commandments and good deeds,

But not through suffering and grievous illness,

For You, Adonai, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You.

Hear my voice, Adonai, when I call — be gracious to me and answer me.

Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and do not hide Yourself from my pleading,

Heed me and answer me, and fulfill all the desires of my heart for a good life and for peace,

As it is written: Delight in Adonai, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Adonai of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold, selah.

Adonai of hosts — happy is the person who trusts in You.

Adonai, save — may the King answer us on the day we call.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Adonai, my rock and my redeemer.
