Today is Twenty-Eight Days of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer

The Order of the Omer Counting Text (Sefard):

For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, with awe and with love, to unify the Name Y-H with V-H in a complete unity, in the name of all Israel. Behold, I am ready and prepared to fulfill the positive mitzvah of counting the Omer, as it is written in the Torah: “And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Shabbos, from the day you bring the Omer of the waving-offering—seven complete weeks shall they be. Until the morrow of the seventh Shabbos you shall count fifty days, and you shall bring a new meal-offering to Hashem.” “May the pleasantness of Hashem our God be upon us; establish for us the work of our hands—establish the work of our hands.”

Blessed are You, Hashem our God, King of the universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.

Today is twenty-eight days, which are four weeks of the Omer

For the conductor, with melodies, a psalm—a song: God shall favor us and bless us; may He shine His face with us, Selah. That Your way be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. The peoples will thank You, O God; the peoples will thank You—all of them. Nations will rejoice and sing, for You will judge peoples with fairness, and guide nations on earth, Selah. The peoples will thank You, O God; the peoples will thank You—all of them. The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear Him.

Ana B’Koach, with the greatness of Your right hand, release the bound. Accept the song of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. Please, Mighty One—those who seek Your Oneness—guard them like the pupil of the eye. Bless them, purify them; with the mercies of Your righteousness, always bestow upon them. Powerful, Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, lead Your congregation. Unique and Exalted One, turn to Your people, those who remember Your holiness. Blessed is the Name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

Master of the world, You commanded us through Moshe Your servant to count the Omer, in order to purify us from our husks and from our impurities, as You wrote in Your Torah: “And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Shabbos, from the day you bring the Omer of the waving-offering—seven complete weeks shall they be. Until the morrow of the seventh Shabbos you shall count fifty days,” so that the souls of Your people Israel be purified from their defilement. Therefore, may it be Your will, Hashem our God and God of our fathers, that in the merit of the Omer counting that I counted today, what I damaged in the sefirah of Malchus sheb’Netzach be repaired; and may I be purified and sanctified with the holiness from Above. Through this, may abundant shefa be drawn down in all the worlds—repairing our souls, our spirits, and our neshamas from every dross and blemish, and purifying us and sanctifying us with Your supernal holiness. Amen, Selah.

Presented here is a prayer that Rabbi Berland shlit"a wrote for Malchus sheb’Netzach, for reading and downloading:

Master of the world, Almighty, from Whom no plan is beyond reach—fulfill within us the words of Rebbe Nachman, the holy and awesome one: “I have won, and I will win.” Grant us Malchus of holiness, as it is said: “And Hashem will be King over the entire earth; on that day Hashem will be One and His Name One.” And may we merit the twelve stones of the Choshen—Row 1: “Odem, Pitdah, Barekes”; Row 2: “Nofech, Sapir, Yahalom”; Row 3: “Leshem, Shevo, Achlamah”; Row 4: “Tarshish, Shoham, Yashpeh.” And may we merit an abundance of sons and daughters, and through this we will complete the sefirah of Malchus, and the Malchus of Hashem will be revealed in the world in the blink of an eye = 435: Hashem Echad = 1, Moshiach 358, ben 52, David 24 = 435—speedily in our days. Amen, Netzach, Selah, and forever.
