הַנּוֹתֵן תְּשׁוּעָה לַמְּלָכִים וּמֶמְשָׁלָה לַנְּסִיכִים מַלְכוּתוֹ מַלְכוּת כׇּל עוֹלָמִים הַפּוֹצֶה אֶת־דָּוִד עַבְדּוֹ מֵחֶֽרֶב רָעָה הַנּוֹתֵן בַּיָּם דָּֽרֶךְ וּבְמַֽיִם עַזִּים נְתִיבָה |
The one who grants salvation to kings, and dominion to princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; who delivered his servant David from the wicked sword;[1] Find 1 Chronicles 21:15. who makes a way through the sea,[2] i.e., for the Israelites through the Sea of Reeds. and a path through the mighty waters:[3] again, for the Israelites, through the River Jordan. |
הוּא יְבָרֵךְ וְיִשְׁמוֹר וְיִנְצוֹר וְיַעֲזוֹר וִירוֹמֵם וִיגַדֵּל וִינַשֵּׂא לְמַֽעְלָה אֶת אֲדוֹנֵֽינוּ הַקֵּיסָר ניקאלאי אלכסנדראװיטש עִם אִשְׁתּוֹ הֲקֵיסָרֶיהָ הַכְבוֹדָהּ אלכסנדרא פעאדראװנא וְעִם אִמּוֹ הַקֵּיסָרִית הַכְבוֹדָהּ מאריא פעאדראװנא וְאֶת יוֹרֵשׁ הָעֶצֶר גערגי אלכסנדראװיטש יָרוּם הוֹדָם׃ |
may he bless, guard, protect and help, exalt, magnify and highly aggrandize our Lord the Emperor Nikolai (II) Alexandrovich (Romanov) and with his wife the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse) and with his honorable Empress mother Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark) and the heir to the throne (Grand Duke) George Alexandrovich |
מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים בְּרַחֲמָיו יְחַיֵּֽהוּ וְיִשְׁמְרֵֽהוּ וּמִכׇּל צָרָה וְיָגוֹן וָנֶֽזֶק יַצִּילֵֽהוּ |
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy grant them life and protection, and from all trouble, sorrow, and peril deliver them. |
וַיְדַבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחַת רַגְלָיו וְיַפִּיל שׂוֹנְאָיו לְפָנָיו וּבְכָל אֲשֶׁר יִפְנֶה יַצְלִיחַ. |
May [the supreme King of kings] subdue nations beneath his sway, and make his enemies fall before him; and in every enterprise in which he shall engage may he prosper. |
מֶלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים בְּרַחֲמָיו יִתֵּן בְּלִבּוֹ וּבְלֵב כׇּל יוֹעֲצָיו וְשָׂרָיו רַחֲמָנוֹת לַעֲשׂוֹת טוֹבוֹת עִמָּנוּ וְעִם כׇּל יִשְׂרָאֵל. |
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy inspire his heart and the hearts of all her counsellors and princes, with feeling of compassion to deal benevolently with us, and with all Yisrael. |
בְּיָמָיו וּבְיָמֵינוּ תִּוָּשַׁע יְהוּדָה. וְיִשְׂרָאֵל יִשְׁכּוֹן לָבֶטַח וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל. וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֺאמַר אָמֵן׃ |
In his days and in ours may Yehudah be delivered, Yisrael dwell in safety, and a redeemer come to Tsiyon. That this be his gracious will, let us say, Amen. |
This prayer for the well-being of the Kaiser (Emperor) Nikolai II and his family appears in the siddur Shir Ushvaḥah (1889), a copy of which was used by my great-aunt Bessie Grinberg, z”l (1896-1983), originally of Moinesti in Bacau Province, Moldavia, Romania. (Much gratitude to my cousin, Linda Propas Ross for preserving this siddur.) –Aharon Varady

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.
