[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה קפ"ט - נְשִׁיכַת הַנָּחָשׁ]
רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים וּמֶלֶךְ עוֹלָם, שִׂמְחַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, רַחֵם עָלַי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנִי מֵעַצְבוּת וּמֵעַצְלוּת, אֲשֶׁר הֵם הָיוּ בְּעוֹכְרַי, וּבִטְּלוּ אוֹתִי הַרְבֵּה מִתּוֹרָה וּתְפִלָּה וּמִטּוֹב הַרְבֵּה, וֶהֱבִיאוּנִי לְמַה שֶּׁהֱבִיאוּנִי,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Tzaddikim Heal a Person of the Serpent’s Bite*
Depression and lack of motivation come as a result of the bite of the Primordial Serpent. A person who is thus contaminated does not learn Torah, pray or engage in good deeds.
The true Tzaddikim, those who attain new, awesome and wondrous life at every moment, have the ability to pour the light of life upon such a person. Then he is saved from these snake bites and he gains life. Eagerness and joy revive him so that he experiences a personal resurrection of the dead.
**Protect Us from Depression**
Master of the world, Living God and King, the Joy of Israel, have compassion on me for the sake of Your Name. Rescue me from the depression and lack of motivation that contaminate me, that keep me from Torah, prayer and goodness, and that have brought me to my present state.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
As You informed us through Your holy sages, the essence of the Serpent’s bite is depression and lack of motivation. Protect us, compassionate God.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
