Before Sleep

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמַּפִּיל חֶבְלֵי שֵׁנָה עַל עֵינַי וּמֵאִיר לְאִישׁוֹן בַּת עָיִן. יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהַי, שֶׁתַּצִּילֵנִי מִיֵּצֶר רָע וּמִפֶּגַע רַע, וְאַל יְבַהֲלוּנִי חֲלוֹמוֹת רָעוֹת וְלֹא הִרְהוּרִים רָעִים, וְתִהְיֶה מִטָּתִי שְׁלֵמָה לְפָנֶיךָ וְתַעֲמִידֵנִי מִמֶּנָּה לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם, וְהָאִירָה עֵינַי פֶּן אִישַׁן הַמָּוֶת. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, הַמֵּאִיר לְכָל הָעוֹלָם.

Blessed are You, Adhonay our God, King of the universe, who casts the bonds of sleep upon my eyes and slumber upon my eyelids, and gives light to the pupil of the eye. May it be Your will, Adhonay my God, that You save me from the evil impulse and from harm, that bad dreams and evil thoughts not trouble me, that my bed be whole before You, and that You raise me up from it to life and peace, and give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death. Blessed are You, Adhonay, who gives light to the whole world.

You shall love Adhonay your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. These words that I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be a symbol between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You redeem me, Adhonay, God of truth.
