guard me from who I once was ken y’hi ratzon
guard me from absence in this moment ken y’hi ratzon
guard me from evil intent ken y’hi ratzon
guard me from who I may become ken y’hi ratzon
guard those who cannot guard themselves ken y’hi ratzon
guard those who in striving fail ken y’hi ratzon
guard those who in rent garments stumble ken y’hi ratzon
guard those who cannot guard against themselves ken y’hi ratzon
guard us against tribal instinct ingrained ken y’hi ratzon
guard us against idols: for us, of us, to us, within us ken y’hi ratzon
guard us against our want to possess ken y’hi ratzon
guard us here not to commit the unjust now ken y’hi ratzon
