	The סֵֽפֶר תּוֹרָה (Torah scroll) is held while the following prayer is said.
הַנּוֹתֵן תְּשׁוּעָה לַמְּלָכִים וּמֶמְשָׁלָה לַנְּסִיכִים מַלְכוּתוֹ מַלְכוּת כׇּל־עוֹלָמִים.	He who gives salvation to kings and dominion to princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom —
הוּא יְבָרֵֽךְ	may He bless our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth (Ⅱ) Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Charles, Prince of Wales and all the Royal Family.
מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים בְּרַחֲמָיו, יְחַיֶּֽיהָ, וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽהָ, וּמִכׇּל־צָרָה וְיָגוֹן יַצִּילֶֽהָ.	May the supreme King of kings in His mercy preserve the Queen in life, guard her and deliver her from all trouble and sorrow.
וִיבָרֵךְ וְיִשְׁמֹר אֶת צְבָא הַמַּלְכָּה.	May He bless and protect Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
וְיִתֵּן בְּלִבָּהּ וּבְלֵב כׇּל־יוֹעֲצֶיהָ רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה לְהַחֲזִיק שְׁלוֹם הַמַּלְכוּת וְשַׁלְוַת עַמָּהּ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת חֶֽסֶד וֶאֶמֶת עִם־כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃	May He put into her heart and into the hearts of all her 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 justly with all the House of Israel.
בְּיָמֶיהָ וּבְיָמֵֽינוּ יִפְרֹשׂ אָבִֽינוּ שֶׁבַּשָׁמַֽיִם סֻכַּת שָׁלוֹם עַל־כׇּל־יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל וְנֺאמַר אָמֵן׃	In her days and in ours, may our Heavenly Father spread the tabernacle of peace over all the dwellers on earth; and may the redeemer come to Zion; and let us say Amen.

In 2014, the formula of “haNoten Teshua” suggested by the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth, was amended by the chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, 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 volunteer contributors, or its 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-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.
