Our God and God of our fathers, be with the mouths of those who have been sent by Your people the House of Yisrael, who stand to offer fervent prayer and supplication before You, in behalf of Your people, the House of Yisrael. Instruct them what to say, teach them what they shall speak, disclose to them what they shall ask, make known to them how they may glorify You. In the light of Your countenance may they walk, [their] knee, unto You may they bend, Your people, with their mouths, may they bless, and from the blessings of Your mouth, may they all be blessed. Your people, they lead into Your Presence, and from their midst, they approach You; the eyes of Your people are fixed on them, and their eyes look longingly to You. They approach the Holy Ark in awe, to appease anger and wrath; and Your people surround them like a wall, and You, from the heavens look upon them with compassion. They lift their eyes to You in heaven, their hearts are poured out before You as water, and You, [please] hear [their prayer] from the heavens. May they not stammer with their tongue, nor become entangled in their speech, may they not be ashamed of those who rely on them, and may they not bring disgrace to their multitude [their congregation]; and may their mouths never say a word that is not according to Your will. For those to whom You are favorably disposed, Adonoy, our God, they have truly found favor, and those upon whom You have compassion, they have truly found compassion. For we know, Adonoy, our God, that You will show favor to whom You will show favor, and that You will be compassionate to whom You will be compassionate. As it is written in Your Torah: And He said: “I will cause to pass over all My goodness before you, and I will proclaim the Name, Adonoy in your presence; “I will show favor to whom I show favor, and I will be compassionate to whom I will be compassionate.” And it is said: “Let them not be ashamed through me those who wait for You, my Master, God of Hosts; let them not be disgraced through me, those who seek You, God of Yisrael.”

Master of the World! I am Yours and my dreams are Yours. I have dreamed a dream and I do not know its meaning. May it be Your will, Adonoy, my God, and God of my fathers, that all my dreams regarding myself, and regarding all of Yisrael be for the good; those I have dreamed concerning myself, and those I have dreamed about others, and those that others have dreamed about me. If they are good dreams, strengthen and reinforce them and may they be fulfilled in me and in them, like the dreams of Joseph, the righteous. But if they require curing, cure them like Hezekiah, king of Judah, [who was healed] from his sickness; like Miriam, the prophetess from her tsoraas; and like Naaman, from his tsoraas; like the waters of Marah through Moshe, our teacher, and like the waters of Jericho through Elisha. As You transformed the curse of the wicked Bilaam, from a curse to a blessing, so may you transform all my dreams regarding myself and regarding all of Yisrael for goodness. [May You] guard me, [may You] be gracious to me, and [may You] accept me favorably, Amein.
