To err is human, to forgive divine. (Alexander Pope.[1] From Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Criticism, Part Ⅱ (1711). ) | |
I thank Thee, Almighty Father, for having protected me through this day and granted me health to enjoy the many pleasures which Thou continually bestowest upon me. | |
I am grateful to Thee for withholding me from falling into temptation, and pray that Thy Fatherly care will guide me in whatever position I may be placed in the future. | |
Father, if trouble should enter my household, as it must at some time or another, teach me to bear it bravely, and do my part towards alleviating the misery of those who must share the burden with me. | |
Forgive the sins I may have committed during the past hours, and let me seek my rest with a feeling of kindliness towards all Thy creatures. | |
Be Thou near me and my dear ones through this night, and grant that we may all meet on the morrow refreshed by sleep and prepared to follow our several pursuits. Amen. |

Additional Notes:
- The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
- We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
- If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.
Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
