	The Torah scroll is held while the following prayer is said. All stand.
הַנּוֹתֵן תְּשׁוּעָה לַמְּלָכִים וּמֶמְשָׁלָה לַנְּסִיכִים מַלְכוּתוֹ מַלְכוּת כׇּל עוֹלָמִים	He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom —
הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת אֲדוֹנֵֽינוּ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ	may he bless Our Sovereign Lord, King Charles (Ⅲ), Our Gracious Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, and all the Royal Family.
מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים בְּרַחֲמָיו יְחַיֵּֽיהוּ וְיִשְׁמְרֵֽהוּ וּמִכׇּל־צָרָה וְיָגוֹן יַצִּילֵֽהוּ	May the supreme King of kings in his mercy preserve the King in life, guard him and deliver him from all trouble and sorrow.
וִיבָרֵךְ וְיִשְׁמֹר אֶת צְבָא הַמֶּֽלֶךְ.	May He bless and protect His Majesty’s Armed Forces.
וְיִתֵּן בְּלִבּוֹ וּבְלֵב כׇּל־יוֹעֲצַיו רֽוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה לְהַחֲזִיק שְׁלוֹם הַמַּלְכוּת וְשַׁלְוַת עַמּוֹ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת חֶֽסֶד וֶאֶמֶת עִם־כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃	May he put into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, a spirit of wisdom and understanding that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel.
בְּיָמָיו וּבְיָמֵֽינוּ יִפְרֹשׂ אָבִֽינוּ שֶׁבַּשָׁמַֽיִם סֻכַּת שָׁלוֹם עַל־כׇּל־יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל וְנֺאמַר אָמֵן׃	In his days and in ours, may our Heavenly Father spread the protection of peace over all the dwellers on earth; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion; and let us say, Amen.

This is the formula of the prayer for the government established by chief rabbi Joseph H. Hertz as introduced in 1935 for King George IV at the Royal Jubilee Service and included in his revised Authorised Prayer Book, vol. II (1942/3), p. 506-507. In 2014, this formula was amended by Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis of the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth, to include a short passage in recognition of the United Kingdom’s armed forces.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
