Pray this prayer that  HaShem might bless your livelihood for yourself and for the nourishment of others. Adonai, my Elohim, and Elohim of my forefathers,
May You grant food, blessed and sure,
For the nourishment of my household,
And for the nourishment of Your people, Israel
As a sweet gift from Your hands.
So I may never deprive any man,
Of their gift from Your full and holy Hands,
Those blessed Hands. And may my livelihood
And my luck in business
Be blessed so I live and do not die.
And may I live to help others do well.
And may many people be nourished through my efforts,
Just as You provided for our forefathers
When they came out of Egypt.
You gave them their food without labor or toil,
And You protected them from all evil,
And sustained them,
And blessed them.
Your blessing is a righteous blessing.
You helped with Your gifts and Your mercy
As the verse says:
All eyes look to You in hope,
And you give them their food in their time.
You open Your hand and bless all Creation. May their holy souls and their pure souls
Pray to Gd for me
And may He bestow good fortune upon me.
So I find favor in His eyes
And in the eyes of His people,
So I may serve Gd with all my heart,
All of my days,
And do much good for many people
Bringing esteem to Your holy Name, And may I be taken from the world
With a fine name and in my appointed hour,
And at a great age.
And may I have my share with the saints
Those who follow Your commands
