אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם,
צוּר יִשְׂרָאֵל וְגוֹאֲלוֹ,
בָּרֵךְ אֶת מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל,
רֵאשִׁית צְמִיחַת גְּאֻלָּתֵנוּ.

 

הָגֵן עָלֶיהָ בְּאֶבְרַת חַסְדֶּךָ,
וּפְרֹשׁ עָלֶיהָ סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמֶךָ,
וּשְׁלַח אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ
לְרָאשֶׁיהָ, שָׂרֶיהָ וְיוֹעֲצֶיהָ,
וְתַקְּנֵם בְּעֵצָה טוֹבָה מִלְּפָנֶיךָ.

 

חַזֵּק אֶת יְדֵי מְגִנֵּי אֶרֶץ קָדְשֵׁנוּ,
וְהַנְחִילֵם אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְשׁוּעָה
וַעֲטֶרֶת נִצָּחוֹן תְּעַטְּרֵם,
וְנָתַתָּ שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ
וְשִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם לְיוֹשְׁבֶיהָ.וְנאמַר אָמֵן:
Avinu shebashamayim,
Tzur Yisra’el ve-go’alo,
Barekh et Medinat Yisra’el,
Reishit tzemichat ge’ulateinu.

 

Hagen aleha b’evrat chasdecha,
U’ferosh aleha sukkat shlomecha,
U’shelach orcha va’amittecha
L’rosheha, sareha, v’yo’atzeha,
V’taknem b’eitzah tovah mil’fanecha.

 

Chazek et y’dei m’ginei Eretz Kodsheinu,
V’hanchilem Elokeinu yeshu’ah
Va’ateret nitzachon t’aterem.
V’natata shalom ba’aretz
U’simchat olam l’yoshveha.
V’ne’emar: Amen.

 

Our father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of the people Israel: Bless the State of Israel, with its promise of redemption

Shield it beneath the wings of your lovingkindness; spread over it the shelter of Your peace; send your light and your truth to its leaders, officers, and advisors, and help them with your good counsel.

Strengthen the hands of the defenders of our Holy Land; grant them salvation, and crown them with victory. Establish peace in the land, and everlasting joy for its inhabitants.

And let us say: Amen.
