עַל הַנִּסִּים וְעַל הַפֻּרְקָן וְעַל הַגְּבוּרוֹת וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעוֹת וְעַל הַמִּלְחָמוֹת שֶׁעָשִׂיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה |
And for the miracles, and for the salvation, and for the mighty deeds, and for the victories, and for the battles which You performed for our forefathers in those days, at this time. |
בִּימֵי שַׁחֲרוּת מְדִינָתֵנוּ וְשִׁחְרוּר אֻמָּתֵנוּ, שָׁכַן בָּדָד לְבַב אַרְצֵנוּ, קִרְיַת מְשׂוֹשֵׂנוּ. הַכְּמֵהִים לַאֲבָנֶיהָ תִּנּוּ שְׁבָחֶיהָ, בְּחִירֵי מְשׁוֹרְרֶיךָ כְּכִנּוֹר לְשִׁירֶיהָ. מִבֵּין הַחֲרַכִּים צָצוּ בְּנֵי עַמְּךָ לְהַשְׂבִּיעַ עֵינָם מִשְּׂרִידֵי טוּב הֵיכָלֶךָ. |
At the dawn of our statehood and the independence of our nation The heart of our land, our city of joy, dwelt in isolation Those who longed for her stones recounted her praises Her finest bards were as a harp to her songs Through the crevices Your children peeked To sate their eyes with the remnants of Your lofty Temple |
רָגְשׁוּ גּוֹיִים וְהִתְרוֹעֲעוּ, עָמְדוּ עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ. נֶגְדָּם אָזְרוּ חַיִל גְּדוּדֵי בָּנֶיךָ, וּבְרִיתְךָ אֶת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ לָנוּ קִיַּמְתָּ. |
Nations bestirred and clamored, rose up against us to destroy us Facing them, Your sons girded strength in their legions Your covenant with our forefathers prevailed and endured |
הַר קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיָדֵינוּ הִפְקַדְתָּ, וְשַׁעֲרֵי שָׁלֵם לָנוּ פָּתַחְתָּ. דַּרְכֵי צִיּוֹן צָהֲלוּ בִּמְחוֹלוֹת חוֹגְגֶיךָ, וּפַעֲמֵי רַגְלֵינוּ הֵשַׁבְתָּ לַהֲדוֹם רַגְלֶיךָ. |
You entrusted Your holy mount into our hands And You opened wide the gates of Shalem The paths to Zion rang out with the dancing of Your celebrants And You returned the steps of our feet to Your footstool. |
וְהִנֵּה חוֹזוֹת עֵינֵינוּ בִּזְרִיחַת אוֹר פָּנֶיךָ עַל חַצְרוֹת מְנוּחָתֶךָ, וְהִנֵּה שׁוֹמְעוֹת אָזְנֵינוּ קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה בְּחוּצוֹת חֶמֶד נַחֲלָתֶךָ, |
Behold! Our eyes observe Your countenance radiating Across the courtyards of Your place of rest Behold! Our ears perceive sounds of happiness and rejoicing In the streets of Your choice inheritance |
וַעֲדֵי עַד נַעֲלֶה אֶת נֶצַח תִּפְאַרְתָּהּ לְרֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתֵנוּ. |
E’er will we raise her eternal glory To our utmost rejoicing |

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, 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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
