Today is thirty-nine days, which are five weeks and four days of the Omer .

Barukh atah, A-donai E-loheinu, Melekh Ha-ʿolam, asher qid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu ʿal S'firat Ha-ʿomer.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to count the Omer.

39: Ha-yom tisha u’sheloshim yom, shehaym chami-sha shavuot va’arba-a yamim la-omer .

OR

39: Ha-yom tisha u’sheloshim yom, shehaym chami-sha shavuot va’arba-a yamim ba-omer ba-omer .

Intention, Thanks to Morah G in Morah B"s Kitah א : We count down to the number of days until the end of school (17 days left), but we count up to the number of days to receiving the Torah .
