A beautiful Vedic prayer

ॐ। तच्छं योरावृणीमहे। गातुं यज्ञाय। गातुं यज्ञपतये। दैवी स्वस्तिरस्तु नः। स्वस्तिर्मानुषेभ्यः। ऊर्ध्वं जिगातु भेषजम्। शं नो अस्तु द्विपदे। शं चतुष्पदे। ॐ शान्तिश्शान्तिश्शान्तिः॥
—तैत्तिरीयारण्यके १.९.७

“OM. We especially pray to that [Brahman/OM] for calming our current and future diseases. We pray for the successful journey of this ‘yajna’. We pray for the successful journey of this ‘yajamana’. May there be divine prosperity for us. May our progeny get prosperity. ... May our herbs (plants) grow upwards. May there be prosperity for our people. May there be prosperity for our animals. OM, may there be peace, may there be peace, may there be peace.”
—Taittiriya Aranyaka 1.9.7

This prayer is traditionally chanted before chanting the ‘Purusha-suktam’.
