The Dua of Musa Before the Hard Task
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

Rabbi-shrah li sadri, wa yassir li amri, wahlul 'uqdatam-mil-lisani, yafqahu qawli.
Translation
My Lord, expand for me my chest, ease for me my task, untie the knot from my tongue, so they may understand my speech.
