The Amidah

Amidah means "standing". It is said while standing, with one's feet together, facing Jerusalem.
It is said inaudibly. A low whisper or mumbling is appropriate.

1) AVOT - The Patricarchs

ADONAI, open my lips that my mouth may tell Your glory.
Blessed are You, ADONAI, our God, and God of our forefathers,
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;
The great, mighty, and awesome God, the supreme God,
Who bestows great kindness, and makes everything,
Who recalls the kindness of the Patriarchs
and brings a Redeemer to their children's children
for His Name's sake with love.
O Helping, Saving, and Shielding King.
Blessed are You, God, Shield of Abraham.

2) GEVOOROT - God's Might

You are eternally mighty, ADONAI, the Resurrector of the dead are You;
Great in salvation.

(from Shemini Atzeret till the first day of Pesach say:)
He makes the wind blow and He makes the rain descend.

He sustains the living with kindness, resurrects the dead with great mercy,
supports the fallen, heals the sick, releases the confined,
and keeps His faith to those asleep in the dust.
And who is like You, O master of mighty deeds?
and who is comparable to You, O King?
Who causes death and restores life and makes salvation sprout?
And You are faithful to resurrect the dead.
Blessed are You, ADONAI, who resurrects the dead.

3) K'DUSHAT HASHEM - Holiness of God's Name

You are holy and Your name is holy, and every day holy ones will praise You.  Blessed are You, ADONAI, the holy God.

4) K'HAYOM - VISHAMRU - Blessing for Shabbat

Moses was pleased with the gift bestowed on him, for You called him a faithful servant, You placed a glorious crown on his head when he stood before Your face on the mountain of Sinai.  He brought down in his hand two tablets of stone on which were written the command to observe Shabbat, even as it is written in Your Torah:

"The children of Israel shall observe Shabbat, to practice Shabbat throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.  It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever, because in six days ADONAI made the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he rested and refrained from his work."

You did not give Shabbat, ADONAI our God, to other nations of the earth.
It is not the heritage of those who serve idols.
Pagans rejoice not in it's rest. To Israel Your people You gave it in love,
to the descendants of Jacob whom you chose in love.
May the people who set apart the seventh day, all of them,
be satisfied and delighted with Your goodness.
You favored the seventh day and sanctified it:
the desirable of days You called it, in memory of Your work of creation.

Our God and God of our fathers, be pleased with our rest.
Set us apart by Your commandments and grant us to share in Your Torah.
Satisfy us with Your goodness: make us rejoice in Your health:
purify our hearts to serve You faithfully.
Grant us, ADONAI our God, in Your love and favor,
Your holy Shabbat as a joyous inheritance.
And in it may Israel rest, those who sanctify your name.
Blessed are You, ADONAI, who sanctifies Shabbat.

5) AVODAH -  Temple Service

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in compassion.
Blessed are You, ADONAI, Who restores His presence to Zion

6) MODIM -  Thanksgiving

We thank You, for You are ADONAI, our God
and the God of our forefathers forever and ever.
The rock of our lives and the shield of our salvation,
You are in every generation.
We shall thank You and tell Your glory for our lives which are in Your hands,
and for our souls that are entrusted to You,
and for Your miracles that are with us every day,
and for Your wonders and favors that happen all the time,
evening and morning and noon.
The Good One, for Your compassions were not exhausted,
and the Compassionate One, for Your merciful deeds have not ended,
always have we put our hope in You.

For all these, may Your name be blessed and exalted,
our King, always forever and ever;
and all the living will thank You Selah! and praise Your name
truly, O God, our salvation and our help, Selah!
Blessed are You, ADONAI, the Good One is Your name,
and You it is proper to thank.

7) SIM SHALOM - Establish Peace

May ADONAI  bless you and keep you.
May ADONAI make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May ADONAI lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
