It is obvious and known in the presence of Your glorious throne that if one of them were ruptured, or if one of them were blocked, it would be impossible to exist and stand in Your Presence even for a short while. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who heals all flesh and performs wonders.Baruch atah Adonai eloheynu melech haolam asher yatzar et-haadam bechachmah uvara vo nekavim nekavim chalulim chalulim galuy veyadua lifney chise chevodecha sheim yipatecha echad mehem o yisatem echad mehem i efshar lehitkayem velaamod lefaneycha afilu shaah echat. baruch atah Adonai rofe chal-basar umafli laasot:

You will eventually take it from me, and restore it in me in the time to come. So long as the soul is within me I give thanks to You, Adonoy my God, and God of my fathers, Lord of all creatures, Master of all souls. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who restores souls to dead bodies.Elohay neshamah shenatata bi tehorah hi atah veratah atah yetzartah atah nefachtah bi veatah meshamrah bekirbi veatah atid litlah mimeni ulhachazirah bi leatid lavo, kal zeman shehanshamah vekirbi modeh ani lefaneycha Adonai elohay velohey avotay ribon kal hamaasim adon kal hanshamot: baruch atah Adonai hamachazir neshamot lifgarim metim:
