איתא בזהר (ויקהל דף ר"ו.) אר"ש כד מפקין ס"ת בצבורא למקרי ביה מפתחי תרעי דשמיא דרחמין ומעוררין את האהבה לעילא ואיבעי ליה לבר נש למימר הכי:
The following prayer is taken from theZohar*(Parshas Vayakhail), the basic text of Kabbalah which was written by the Mishnaic sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. TheZoharstates, “When the Torah is taken out to be read before the congregation, the heavenly gates of mercy are opened, and the Divine love is aroused; therefore one should say the following prayer.*
בְּרִיךְ שְׁמֵהּ דְּמָרֵֽא עָלְמָֽא. בְּרִיךְ כִּתְרָךְ וְאַתְרָךְ. יְהֵא רְעוּתָךְ עִם עַמָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעָלַם וּפֻרְקַן יְמִינָךְ אַחֲזֵי לְעַמָּךְ בְּבֵית מַקְדְּשָׁךְ וּלְאַמְטֽוּיֵי לָֽנָא מִטּוּב נְהוֹרָךְ וּלְקַבֵּל צְלוֹתָֽנָא בְּרַחֲמִין. יְהֵא רַעֲוָא קֳדָמָךְ דְּתוֹרִיךְ לָן חַיִּין בְּטִיבֽוּ וְלֶהֱוֵי אֲנָֽא פְקִידָֽא בְּגוֹ צַדִּיקַיָּֽא לְמִרְחַם עָלַי וּלְמִנְטַר יָתִי וְיַת־כָּל־דִּי־לִי וְדִי־לְעַמָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל. אַנְתְּ הוּא זָן לְכֹֽלָּא וּמְפַרְנֵֽס לְכֹֽלָּא. אַנְתְּ הוּא שַׁלִּיט עַל־כֹּֽלָּא אַנְתְּ הוּא דְּשַׁלִּיט עַל־מַלְכַיָּֽא וּמַלְכוּתָֽא דִּילָךְ הִיא. אֲנָֽא עַבְדָּֽא דְקֻדְשָֽׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא דְּסָגִֽידְנָא קַמֵּהּ וּמִקַּמֵּי דִּיקַר אוֹרַיְתֵהּ בְּכָל־עִדָּן וְעִדָּן. לָא עַל־אֱנָשׁ רָחִֽיצְנָא וְלָא עַל־בַּר־אֱלָהִין סָמִֽיכְנָא. אֶלָּֽא בֵּאלָהָא דִשְׁמַיָּֽא דְּהוּא אֱלָהָא קְשׁוֹט וְאוֹרַיְתֵהּ קְשׁוֹט וּנְבִיאֽוֹהִי קְשׁוֹט וּמַסְגֵּֽא לְמֶעְבַּֽד טָבְוָן וּקְשׁוֹט. בֵּהּ אֲנָֽא רָחִיץ וְלִשְׁמֵהּ קַדִּישָֽׁא יַקִּירָֽא אֲנָֽא אֵמַֽר תֻּשְׁבְּחָן. יְהֵא רַעֲוָא קֳדָמָךְ דְּתִפְתַּח לִבָּאי בְּאוֹרַיְתָֽא וְתַשְׁלִים מִשְׁאֲלִין דְּלִבָּאי וְלִבָּא דְכָל־עַמָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְטָב וּלְחַיִּין וְלִשְׁלָם:
Blessed is the Name of the Master of the universe. Blessed is Your crown and Your place. May Your good will [be] with Your people Israel forever. Show Your people the redemption of Your right hand in Your Holy Temple. Bestow on us Your excellent light, and accept our prayer with compassion. May it be Your will to prolong our lives in well-being. Let me be counted among the righteous, so that You will have compassion on me and protect me and all that is mine, and all that belongs to Your people, Israel. You are He Who nourishes all and maintains all; You are He Who rules over all; You are He Who rules over kings, and the kingdom is Yours. I am a servant of the Holy One, blessed is He, I bow before Him and before the honor of His Torah at all times. Not in man do I put my trust, nor do I rely on any angel; but only in the God of heaven, Who is the true God, Whose Torah is truth, Whose prophets are true, and Who performs many deeds of goodness and truth. In Him I put my trust and to His honored, holy Name I utter praises. May it be Your will to open my heart to Torah, and to fulfill the desires of my heart, and of the heart of Your people Israel, for goodness, for life, and for peace.
