והשב את העבודה [לדביר ביתך]
AND RESTORE THE SERVICE [TO THE SANCTUARY OF YOUR HOUSE]
By virtue of our tefillah and Avodah, please deem us worthy of the return of the Avodah in the Beis Hamikdash, where we will gain the ultimate ‘favor’, and the Shechinah will rest upon Yisroel once more.
לדביר ביתך
TO THE SANCTUARY OF YOUR HOUSE
The ‘D’vir’ was the chief place of the Shechinah, as there was placed the Aron Habris, as well as the Menorah with its ner tamid; the ‘D’vir’ is ‘Your house’, for never will You dwell in any other place at all.
ואשי ישראל
AND THE FIRE-OFFERINGS OF YISROEL
Please restore specifically the Avodah of “the fire-offerings”, so that all of Yisroel could serve You and come close to You, thereby gaining Your favor and the return of the Shechinah upon us once more.
ותפלתם באהבה תקבל ברצון
AND THEIR PRAYER WITH LOVE YOU SHOULD ACCEPT WITH FAVOR
Just as we pray to You with utmost love, so too we ask that You accept our tefillos with ‘favor’ and love as well.
ותהי לרצון תמיד עבודת ישראל עמך
AND LET THE SERVICE OF YISROEL YOUR PEOPLE BE ALWAYS FOR FAVOR
Please aid us in our Avodah that it continue to gain Your favor, that it be unblemished and perfect, both in respect to our intentions in our service, as well as in respect to the its quality and its abundance.
