A few sentences from the Ne-ila [closing service of yom kippur],
after the Shofar blowing at the very end.
יז כָּל-כְּלִי יוּצַר עָלַיִךְ,
לא יִצְלָח, וְכָל-לָשׁוֹן תָּקוּם-אִתָּךְ לַמִּשְׁפָּט, תַּרְשִׁיעִי; זֹאת נַחֲלַת עַבְדֵי יְהוָה וְצִדְקָתָם, מֵאִתִּי--נְאֻם-יְהוָה
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their due reward from Me, saith the LORD.
Go, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a happy heart, for G-d has now accepted thy works.
[Book of Prayer: According to the Custom of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews David de Sola Pool, New York: Union of Sephardic Congregations, 1979]
