The Traveler's Prayer

May it be Your will, Hashem, our G-d and G-d of our ancestors, to lead us toward peace, to direct our steps toward peace, and guide us toward peace and make us reach our desired destination for life, gladness, and peace. May you rescue us from every foe, ambush, bandits, and evil animals along the way and from all manner of punishments that assemble to come to earth. May you send blessing in our every handiwork, and grant us grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us. May you hear the sound of our supplication, because you are G-d Who hears prayer and supplication. Blessed are you Hashem, Who hears prayer.

Jacob went on his way, and angels of G-d encountered him. Jacob said when he saw them, “This is a G-dly camp” So he named the place Machanayim.

For your salvation I do long Hashem. I do long Hashem for you salvation. Hashem, for your salvation I do long.

Behold, I send an angel before you to protect you on the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

Hashem will give might to His nation, Hashem will bless His nation with peace.

(Translated from the traditional Hebrew prayer)
