(Psalms 126)
 
A song of risings.
On the Cause’s returning the exile of Zion,
we would be like dreamers.
Thus our mouths would be filled with laughter,
and our tongues cheer —
thus among the nations they would say
“The Cause acted greatly with them!”
The Cause acting greatly with us —
we would be happy. Return, please, o Cause,
our exile, like wadis in the desert.
Those sowing in tears
will reap in cheer.
One going out and about weeping,
carrying his bag of seed,
will come in cheer,
lifting his sheaves.

With a zimmun (said when no fewer than three eat together):

Leader: Hey everybody let’s bentsh!^[1] Can be said in any language. Provided in the Hebrew script are two traditional Hebrew forms, an Aramaic form, a Yiddish form, and the English included here transcribed into Hebrew script. 

Eaters: May the name of the Cause be blessed
from now and forevermore! (Psalms 113:2)

Leader: May the name of the Cause be blessed
from now and forevermore!
With the permission of my teachers and sirs and fellows,
Let us bless (with ten: our God) the One from whom we ate!

Eaters: Bless (with ten: our God) the One from whom we ate,
and in Whose goodness we live!

Leader: Bless (with ten: our God) the One from whom we ate,
and in Whose goodness we live!

Eaters: Bless Them
and bless Their name!

Blessed are You,
Cause our God,
Sovereign of Eternity,
who sustains the whole universe entire
in Their goodness,
in grace and kindness and compassion.
They give bread to all flesh,
for eternal is Their kindness. (Psalms 135:26)
And in Their great constant goodness
They have not let us lack,
nor will They let us ever lack sustenance,
for the sake of Their great name,
for They (are a god who) sustains
and provides for all
and does good to all
and establishes sustenance to all Their creations
that They created.

I will bless my Sovereign  
with the sweetness of my palate.  
Holy nation, acknowledge as sovereign!  
Their law at Sinai They taught me and made me hear, “I am!”  
Aye, forever we hope in You,  
and in all, we will praise You.  
You warned us: “A foreign god thou shalt not have.”  
You graced us with a new gift-offering we will give to You.  
As it is written — “And on the day of the first-fruits,
when you offer a new gift-offering to the Cause, in your Weeks,
a holy event you shall have,
no laborious work shall you do.” (Numbers 28:26)
And said — “You open Your hand
and sate all life as You will.” (Psalms 145:16)
Blessed are You, Cause, who sustains all.

We thank You, Cause our God,
for You bequeathed to our ancestors
a pleasant, good, and wide land,
and for You, Cause our God,
brought us out of Egypt
and freed us from the slave-house,
and for Your covenant
that You cut in our flesh,
and for Your Torah that You taught us,
and for Your Laws that You made us know,
and for life, grace and kindness with which You have graced us,
and for the eating of sustenance that You constantly sustain and provide for us
every day and every time and ever hour.
And for all this, Cause our God,
we thank You,
and bless You;
may Your Name be blessed
in the mouth of all life
constantly forever and ever.

Good are Your sayings and in them we will have pleasure.‬‬  
O Yah on High, have mercy on us!‬‬  
Just as You proclaimed on Sinai, “Do not take‬  
in vain the name of the High and Exalted God.”‬‬  
From on High You, Awesome One, made us hear  
the sweetness of “Remember the day…”‬‬  
You bore us to greatness, You are honored.‬‬  
For the land of law and covenant You gave the the commandment of “honor…”‬‬  
As it is written — “Honor the Cause with your property,
with the first of all your crop.” (Proverbs 3:9)
And said — “And you will eat
and be sated
and bless the Cause your God
over the good land given you.” (Deuteronomy 8:10)
Blessed are You, Cause, for the land and for the sustenance.

Have compassion, please, Cause our God,
on Israel Your people,
and on Jerusalem Your city,
and on Zion the dwelling-place of Your Glory,
and on the kingdom of the house of David Your anointed,
and for the great and holy House
over which Your Name is called.
Our God, our Parent,
our Shepherd, our Sustainer,
our Provider, our Supporter,
our Reliever —
and relieve us, Cause our God,
speedily from all our stresses,
and please do not make us rely, Cause our God,
on the gifts of flesh and blood,
nor on others’ loans
but only on Your full and open and holy and wide hand,
that we never be ashamed or disgraced
ever and ever.

A deed in the form of “You shall not murder”  
my ruddy beloved commanded and clarified.  
Enraged at us, withdrawing and angry,  
quoth the High: “And in the lap of a foreigner you shall not commit adultery.  
Your root will eternally flourish if you do not steal.  
Do not testify falsely
and evil will not be caused you.
What you desire, if you do not covet it, you will enjoy,  
and with a whole-burnt festival offering you will count.”
As it is written — “Three times in the year
all your men will be seen before the face of the CAUSE your God
in the place They choose:
on the festival of Flatbread,
the festival of Weeks,
and the festival of Shelters;
and you shall not be seen before the Cause your God empty-handed. (Deuteronomy 16:16)
And said — “Rebuilder of Jerusalem is the Cause,
gathering the exiles of Israel.” (Psalms 147:2)
Blessed are You, Cause, who mercifully rebuilds Jerusalem, amen.

Our God and God of our ancestors,
let rise and come,
arrive, be seen and be wanted,
be heard and be accounted
and be remembered —
our remembrances and our accounts,
and our ancestors’ remembrance,
and the anointed son of David your servant’s remembrance,
and Jerusalem Your holy city’s remembrance,
and all Your people the house of Israel’s remembrance before You —
for rescue,
for goodness,
for grace, for kindness, and for compassion,
for life, and for peace,
on this festival day of Shavuȝoṯ.
Remember us, Cause our God,
on it for good,
and account for us on it for blessing,
and save us on it for life.
And in the matter of salvation and compassion,
have grace and mercy and compassion on us,
and save us,
for to You are our eyes,
for a Sovereign God, compassionate and merciful are You.
And build Jerusalem, the holy city,
speedily in our days.

Blessed are You,
Cause our God,
Sovereign of Eternity,
The Deity, our Parent, our Sovereign,
our Noble, our Creator,
our Redeemer, our Maker,
our Holy One, the Holy One of Jacob,
our Shepherd, the Shepherd of Israel,
the Sovereign who is good and does good to all,
for each and every day
They did good, do good, and will do good for us,
They repaid us, repay us, and will repay us forever
in grace and kindness and compassion
and rescue and relief and success,
blessing and salvation, comfort,
provision and aliment and compassion
and life and peace and all good,
and will never let us lack all goodness.

May the Compassionate One
reign over us forever and ever!
May the Compassionate One
be blessed in heaven and on earth!
May the Compassionate One
be lauded in each generation
and glorified by us for all ages,
and beautified by us forever and for all eternities.

May the Compassionate One
provide for us honorably.

May the Compassionate One
shatter our yoke from upon our neck,
and bring us upright to our land.

May the Compassionate One
send us great blessings
in this house,
and on this table
from which we ate.

May the Compassionate One
send us Elijah the prophet, of good memory,
who will herald for us good tidings
of salvation and comfort.

May the Compassionate One
send us Seraḥ Asher’s daughter the wise woman
who will teach us her novelties in the Torah.

May the Compassionate One
bless the State of Israel,
so it may be our redemption’s first flowering.

May the Compassionate One
spread a canopy of peace
between the children of Sarah and Hagar.

May the Compassionate One
bless all who sit here…
them and their house
and their seed
and all that is theirs,
us and all that is ours,
as our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were blessed
“in all” (Genesis 22:1),
“from all” (Genesis 27:33),
“all” (Genesis 33:11) —
and our foremothers Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah were blessed
“did good” (Genesis 12:16),
“good of” (Genesis 26:7),
“good” (Genesis 29:19),
“good” (Genesis 30:20) —
so will They bless us all together
with a complete blessing,
to which we say amen.

On high they will teach them and us merit
to be a watch for peace,
that we may carry a blessing from the Cause
and justice from the God of our salvation^[2] Psalm 42:5 
and find grace and good sense
in the eyes of God and man!^[3] Proverbs 3:4 

May the Compassionate One
bestow upon us a day
that is entirely good!

May the Compassionate One
merit us to the messianic era
and the life of the world to come!
Tower of salvation to Their sovereign,
doing kindness to Their anointed,
to David and his seed forevermore. (II Samuel 22:51)

May the Maker of peace on high (Job 25:2)
make peace on us
and on all Israel
and say amen.

Revere the Cause, holy ones,
for those who revere Them lack nothing.
Lions waste away and starve,
but those who seek the Cause never lack any good. (Psalms 34:10–11)
Thank the Cause who is good,
for eternal is Their kindness! (Psalms 136:1)
You open Your hand
and sate all life as You will. (Psalms 145:16)
Blessed be the man who trusts in the Cause
and makes the Cause his trust. (Jeremiah 17:7)
I was young and now I have aged
and I have not looked on as a righteous man was lost
or his seed begged for bread. (Psalms 37:25)
The Cause grants strength to Their people;
the Cause blesses Their people with peace. (Psalms 29:11)

Blessed are You,
Cause our God,
Sovereign of Eternity,
Creator of the vine-fruit.
