Gebet für den Regenten.[1] Dieses ist das Gebet הנותן תשועה למלכים welchs in allen Synagogen jeden Sabat vom Rabbiner oder Kantor für den Regenten gebetet wird. Es versteht sich von selbst, baß jeder Betende den Namen seines Landesherrn nennt. (This is the prayer הנותן תשועה למלכים which is prayed in all synagogues every Sabbath by the rabbi or cantor for the regent. It goes without saying that each person praying gives the name of his sovereign.) |

Laß in seiner und in unserer Zeit Juda geholfen werden, Israel unter ihm in Sicherheit wohnen, und nach Zion der Erlöser kommen, so sei es dir wohlgefällig. Amen. |
In his time and in ours, let Judah be helped, let Israel dwell in safety under him, and let the Redeemer come to Zion, and so may it be well pleasing unto you. Amen. |
“Gebet für den Regenten” was translated/adapted by Yehoshua Heshil Miro from the traditional prayer for the sovereign (“Hanoten Teshua”) and published in his anthology of teḥinot, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaischer Religion. It first appears in the 1833 edition, תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaischer Religion on pp. 66-67. In the 1835 edition, it appears as teḥinah №45 on pp. 75-76. In the 1842 edition, it appears as teḥinah №47 on pp. 78-79, with the name of Friedrich Wilhelm Ⅲ (1770-1840) replaced by Friedrich Wilhelm Ⅳ (1795-1861). The Hebrew liturgy from which Miro’s translation was derived was reconstructed from variations of Hanoten Teshua current in the 19th century at the time this prayer was published. –Aharon Varady
