"Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings sleep to my eyes, slumber to my eyelids. May it be Your will, Lord my God and God of my ancestors, that I lie down in peace and that I arise in peace".
Another common prayer from the show, particularly from Season 4, asks for God's protection: "Lie us down, Adonai, our God, in peace, and raise us up again, our ruler, in life. Spread over us your Sukkah of peace... Shield us, remove from us every enemy, pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow".
Here are some examples of prayers for sleep found in or based on "The Chosen":
From Season 1 (Example)
A prayer that mirrors traditional Jewish blessings is used for sleep:
"Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings sleep to my eyes, slumber to my eyelids. May it be Your will, Lord my God and God of my ancestors, that I lie down in peace and that I arise in peace".
This is often followed by a plea to be free from troubling thoughts and bad dreams: "Let my sleep be undisturbed by troubling thoughts, bad dreams, and wicked schemes".
From Reddit:
I have it memorized and say it before I go to sleep every night
Blessed are you, Lord our God, king of the universe. Who brings sleep to my eyes, and slumber to my eyelids. May it be your will, Lord my God and God of my ancestors, that I lie down in peace and that I arise in peace. May my sleep be undisturbed by troubling thoughts, bad dreams or wicked schemes. May I have a night of tranquil slumber. May I awaken to the light of a new day, that my eyes may behold the splendor glory of your light. Praised are you, God whose glory gives light to the entire world.
