יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְפָנַיִךְ
רוּחַ שְׁכִינָה
שֶׁתּוֹלִיכִי דְּרָכַי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַצְעִידִי רַגְלַי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַדְרִיכִי לִבִּי לְשָׁלוֹם
וְתַגִּיעִינִי לִמְחוֹז חֶפְצִי
לְחַיִּים וּלְשִׂמְחָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם
הַצִּילִינִי מֵרִפְיוֹן הָרוּחַ וּמִתְּשִׁישׁוּת הַגּוּף
וְהָפִיחִי כֹּחַ בְּפֹעַל יָדַי
תְּנִי בִּי לֵב רוֹאֵה־טוֹב בְּכָל אָדָם,
חָנֵּנִי בְּחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים לְחַזֵּק בַּהֶם אֶת שׁוּתָפַי וְאֶת עַצְמִי,
אַמְּצִי רוּחִי לְהַמְשִׁיךְ וּלְבַקֵּשׁ,
כִּי שׁוֹמַעַת אַתְּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּן וְכָּל תְּפִלָּה
וִיהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנַיִךְ שֶׁיִתְקַיְּמוּ תְּפִלּוֹתַי

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׃ (תהלים צ:יז) · "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)
