Primordial Singular One: You are hidden and concealed from all worlds — for no thought whatsoever can grasp You at all.

You are my shelter — from the foe You shall protect me; with songs of deliverance You shall surround me — Selah [Psalms 32:7]. Conceal me from the counsel of evildoers — from the tumult of those who commit iniquity [Psalms 64:3]. For He will shelter me in His Sukkah on the day of trouble — He will hide me in the shelter of His tent; upon a rock He shall raise me [Psalms 27:5]. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High — in the shadow of the Almighty shall he rest [Psalms 91:1]. Full of mercy — have mercy upon Your people Israel; and in particular upon all the Jewish towns in which all manner of illnesses and pains are spreading — G‑d save us. Have mercy upon them for Your Name's sake; and say to the angel: desist your hand [II Samuel 24:16]; and may his sword return to its sheath. Have pity and compassion upon them and upon all the remnant of Your people the House of Israel; and may You not allow the destroyer to enter into their homes to strike; or to harm or to weaken, G‑d forbid. Have mercy, have mercy; rescue, rescue — Master of mercies; Master of salvations; Creator of healings; Awesome in praises; Master of wonders: remember Your servants — our fathers and our masters the true tzadikim who were in every generation from the days of our father Avraham until now. For their sake and for the sake of Your abundant mercies — have mercy upon us and guard us and save us; us and all of Your people the House of Israel from all manner of illnesses and pains and aches; that they not come upon any one of Israel. And may You send speedily a complete healing from Heaven to all those (of Israel) whom You have already struck with some illness or pain; have mercy upon them and heal them speedily with a complete healing — healing of the soul and healing of the body. Please G‑d — please heal them [Numbers 12:13] — for Your Name's sake (and in particular the sick one so-and-so son/daughter of so-and-so). For You are G‑d the faithful and merciful healing King. Living and everlasting G‑d — Giver of life: give us life that we may live and not die; redeem us from death; ransom us from the pit. Master of the Universe — Guardian of Israel: You alone know who and who lie in ambush against us at every time; and in particular against one upon whom some evil decree has been decreed, G‑d forbid. And only You alone know how to conceal and to hide each and every one of Israel from the ambushers who surround him. Have mercy upon all of Your people Israel; and in particular upon all upon whom some evil decree has been decreed — G‑d save us. And may You guard them and save them through Your holy Names; and rescue them (and conceal them) through Your abundant mercies — from every adversary and enemy and ambusher and adversary. Have mercy upon us and protect us and remove from us enemy and pestilence and sword and famine and grief; and remove the adversary from before us and from behind us; and in the shadow of Your wings shelter us — for You are G‑d Who guards and saves us. Have pity, Hashem, on Your people and rescue us from Your anger; and remove from us the blow of the plague and harsh decree — for You are the Guardian of Israel. Master of all worlds — Guardian of the simple: Hashem — You alone know in what way; through what Name — to conceal and to guard each and every one of Israel from all manner of harmful encounters and evil afflictions; and from all manner of evil decrees — whether before a verdict or after a verdict. Have mercy upon them and guard them and save them through Your awesome wonders; in such a manner that the ambushers and adversaries shall have no power to enter and to attach themselves, G‑d forbid, beneath the concealment and the covering — with which You cover and conceal through Your mercies and Your lovingkindnesses through Your holy and pure and awesome Names. And may the verse be fulfilled in us and in all of Your people Israel: You shall shelter them in the hiding of Your face from the plottings of man — You shall conceal them in a Sukkah from the strife of tongues [Psalms 31:21]. Guard me as the apple of the eye — in the shadow of Your wings conceal me [Psalms 17:8]. I shall dwell in Your tent forever — I shall take shelter in the hiding of Your wings — Selah [Psalms 61:5]. You are my shelter and my shield — I hope in Your word [Psalms 119:114]. Guard my soul and save me — let me not be put to shame for I have taken refuge in You [Psalms 25:20]. For we have no one to lean upon except upon our Father in Heaven; and we know not what to do — but our eyes are upon You [II Chronicles 20:12]. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You — Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer [Psalms 19:15]. Amen and Amen. Grant us merit to pray and to arrange praises before You with great concentration — with great arousal from the depth of the heart in truth; until we merit to the clapping of the hands [mechias kappayim] during the prayer — with great burning and with great joy and with intense desire in truth; until we merit through this to gaze upon the image of Hashem [u'semunas Hashem yabit] [Numbers 12:8]. And may the verse be fulfilled in each and every one of us: And the image of Hashem he shall behold [Numbers 12:8]. Also may we merit through this — through the clapping of the hands — that our prayer shall be in the aspect of: and the hands of a man beneath their wings [Ezekiel 1:8]. Also may we merit through this that our prayer be encompassed within the Written Torah and the Oral Torah — which are the writing hand and the sealing hand. Have mercy upon us for Your Name's sake; and grant us merit to prayer with heartfelt concentration [kavvanas ha'lev] — with great burning in truth; until our hands are aroused to clap — palm upon palm during the prayer; in such a manner that we merit to gaze upon the image of Hashem and to know You in truth; for only for this were we created — to know and to recognize You in truth. Help us for Your Name's sake — that I not lose, G‑d forbid, any further such true and eternal good that is in my power to merit at every time. I have spread out my hands to You — my soul like a thirsty land for You — Selah [Psalms 143:6]. Hasten — answer me Hashem; my spirit has been consumed; do not hide from me and I become like those who descend into the pit [Psalms 143:7]. Illuminate Your face upon Your servant — save me in Your lovingkindness [Psalms 31:17]. Hashem G‑d of hosts — restore us; illuminate Your face and we shall be saved [Psalms 80:4]. And grant me merit to connect to true tzadikim in truth; and through this may I merit to the fullness of speech — to speak many words in Torah and prayer and the fear of Heaven. May my mouth be filled with Your praise — all the day Your glory [Psalms 71:8]. I shall bless Hashem at all times — always His praise in my mouth [Psalms 34:2]. The praise of Hashem my mouth shall speak — and may all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever [Psalms 145:21]. Blessed is Hashem forever — Amen and Amen [Psalms 89:53].
