The following order of prayers and blessings, which departs from that of most prayer books, is based on the consensus of recent halakhic authorities. See laws 316-324.
On waking, our first thought should be that we are in the presence of God. Since we are forbidden to speak God's name until we have washed our hands, the following prayer is said, which, without mentioning God's name, acknowledges His presence and gives thanks for a new day and for the gift of life.
Hebrew
מוֹדֶה/women מוֹדָה/ אֲנִי לְפָנֶיךָ מֶלֶךְ חַי וְקַיָּם
שֶׁהֶחֱזַרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי בְּחֶמְלָה
רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ.
Israeli
modeh (women modah) ani lefanecha melech chai vekayam
shehechezarta bi nishmati b'chemlah
rabah emunatecha.
Wash hands and say the following blessings. Some have the custom to say "Wisdom begins" on page 10 at this point.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל נְטִילַת יָדָיִם.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam
asher kidshanu b'mitzvotav vetzivanu al netilat yadayim.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּחָכְמָה
וּבָרָא בוֹ נְקָבִים נְקָבִים, חֲלוּלִים חֲלוּלִים.
גָּלוּי וְיָדוּעַ לִפְנֵי כִסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ
שֶׁאִם יִפָּתֵחַ אֶחָד מֵהֶם אוֹ יִסָּתֵם אֶחָד מֵהֶם
אִי אֶפְשַׁר לְהִתְקַיֵּם וְלַעֲמוֹד לְפָנֶיךָ אֲפִלּוּ שָׁעָה אֶחָת.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam
asher yatzar et ha-Adam b'chochmah
uvara vo nekavim nekavim, chalulim chalulim.
galui veyadua lifnei chisei ch'vodecha
she-im yipateach echad mehem o yisatem echad mehem
i efshar lehitkayem vela-amod lefanecha afilu sha-ah echat.
baruch atah Adonai, rofei chol basar umafli la-asot.
