                "[Yalkut Shimoni, Bo 187:] Rabbi Yeshayah, élève de Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa, a jeûné quatre-vingt-cinq jeûnes. Il dit : \"Les chiens, à propos desquels il est écrit, 'les chiens sont effrontés d'esprit ; ils ne connaissent pas la satisfaction' — mériteront-ils de dire un chant?\" Un ange lui répondit du Ciel et lui dit : \"Yeshayah, jusqu'à quand jeûneras-tu pour cela ? C'est un serment du Saint béni soit-Il ; depuis le jour où il a révélé son secret à Havakuk le prophète, il n'a pas révélé cette affaire à quiconque dans le monde. Mais parce que tu es l'élève d'un grand homme, j'ai été envoyé du Ciel pour t'assister. On a dit que les chiens ont écrit à leur sujet, 'Aucun chien n'a aiguisé sa langue contre aucun des enfants d'Israël.' De plus, ils ont mérité que les peaux soient tannées avec leurs excréments, sur lesquels sont écrits les Tefillin, Mezuzot et les rouleaux de la Torah. Pour cette raison, ils ont mérité de dire un chant. Et concernant ce que tu as demandé, retire ta parole et ne continue pas de cette manière, comme il est écrit, 'Celui qui garde sa bouche et sa langue, garde des afflictions de son âme.' Béni soit YHVH à jamais, Amen et Amen.\"[FR]"

            "Master of all worlds, may it be Your will before You, Lord my God and the God of my ancestors, that in the merit of \"the chapter of Shirah\" that I have recited – which is the song of the mute, the growing, and the living, and the appointed angels over them from the blessed God – may its recitation be like bringing an offering upon the altar. May this moment be a time of mercy, a time of heeding, a time of listening, and may You be called upon and answer us. We implore You and beseech You to hear our plea....",
            "May the recitation of the chapter of Shirah be presented before You as if we had comprehended all the wondrous and awe-inspiring secrets sealed within it, in all its details. Return us in complete repentance before You, and may we merit a place where the soaring souls and spirits are stationed, as if we have accomplished all that is incumbent upon us to achieve, whether in this reincarnation or in subsequent ones. Fulfill all the desires of our hearts for good (here add specific requests as needed), and send blessings, success, and tranquility in all the works of our hands. May we merit to rule in the future, and may You swiftly restore Your divine presence to Your holy city. Amen. (Adapted from Rabbi Mordechai Gross, shlita)"
