רִבּוֹן הָעוֹלָמִים, בְּךָ מְלָכִים יִמְלֹֽכוּ וְשָׂרִים יָשְׁרוּ. אַתָּה תְכוֹנֵן כִּסְאָם וּבְיָדְךָ הוֹדָם וְתִפְאַרְתָּם. אַתָּה הוֹשַֽׁבְתָּ אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ צַ׳ארְלְס עַל־כִּסֵּא אֲבוֹתָיו. וְשַׂמְתּוֹ עֶלְיוֹן לְאֻמִּים תַּֽחַת שִׁבְטוֹ שֵֽׁבֶט מִישׁוֹר וָחֶֽסֶד שֵֽׁבֶט חֵרוּת וְשַׁלְוַת־עַמִּים. |
Almighty God, By Your grace, kings reign and princes rule. You establish their thrones. Their glory and majesty are in Your hands. You have placed Your servant King Charles Ⅲ on the throne of his ancestors. He rules over many in places across the world under his sceptre, which symbolises freedom, righteousness, and humanity. |
וְהִנֵּה נִמְשַׁח הַיּוֹם לְמֶֽלֶךְ וְנֵֽזֶר מַלְכוּת נִּתַּן בְּרֹאשׁוֹ. מִכַּנְפֵי הָאָֽרֶץ קוֹל תְּרוּעַת מֶֽלֶךְ שָׁמָֽעְנוּ. אַשְׁרֵֽינוּ הַחוֹסִים בְּצִלּוֹ שֶׁאֲנַֽחְנוּ מַכְתִּירִים אוֹתוֹ בְּשִׁיר וּבִרְנָנָה יַֽחַד עִם־כָּל־יוֹשְׁבֵי אַרְצוֹת מֶמְשַׁלְתּוֹ. |
Today, he is anointed King, and the crown of sovereignty is placed upon his head. Songs of rejoicing and loyalty resound from people across the world. Happy are we who dwell in safety under his shadow, that we share in his royal acclamation. |
וְלִבֵּנוּ יֶהְגֶּה לְךָ תּוֹדָה שֶׁשַּֽׂמְתָּ חֶלְקֵֽנוּ בָּהֶם וְשֶׁהֶחֱיִתָֽנוּ וְקִיַמְתָֽנוּ לְיוֹם שִׂמְחַת מַלְכֵּֽנוּ. |
Our hearts are full of gratitude to You who determines our fate in these lands, and has kept us in life, preserved us, and enabled us to reach this precious moment of rejoicing. |
לָכֵן בְּהַלֵּל וּבְזִמְרָה נָבֽוֹאָה בֵּיתֶֽךָ גַּם בִּתְפִלָּה וּבְתַחֲנוּנִים נְקַדְּמָה פָנֶיךָֽ. אָנָּא יהוה הוֹשִֽׁיעָה הַמֶּֽלֶךְ. הַאֲרֵךְ יָמָיו בַּטּוֹב וְשָׁנָיו בַּנְּעִימִים וְכַאֲשֶׁר שַֽׁתָּ לְרֹאשׁוֹ עֲטֶֽרֶת פָּז כֵּן תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ עֹז וְהָדָר וְשֶֽׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מְשָׁחֵֽהוּ. שְׁלַח אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ הֵֽמָּה יַנְחֻֽהוּ וִיקֻיַּם בּוֹ יִקְרָאֵֽנִי וְאֶעֱנֵֽהוּ עִמּוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵֽהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵהוּ. אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִי׃ (תהלים צא:טו-טז) |
Therefore, we come before you with supplication and thanksgiving, and fervently pray to You: God save the King! Prolong his days with happiness and his years with well-being. Just as You set a crown of royalty upon his head, so may You crown him with glory and anoint him with the oil of gladness. May Your light and Your truth always guide him. Fulfil for him Your sacred promise, “When he calls upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in times of trouble; I will deliver him and honour him. With length of days I will satisfy him, and I will show him My salvation.” (Psalms 91:15-16) |
הַאֲצֵל מִשִּׁפְעַת טוּבךָ עַל־הַמַּלְכָּה קְמִילָא הָעוֹמֶֽדֶת לִימִין הַמֶּֽלֶךְ בִּיקָר תִּפְאַרְתָּהּ וְטַל בְּרָכוֹת הָרֵק עַל־כָּל־בֵּית הַמְּלוּכָה. תֵּן בְּלֵב יוֹעֲצֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ וּבְחִירֵי־הָעָם רֽוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה בְּהִתְאַסְּפָם לְהַמְתִּיק סוֹד וּמַעֲשֵׁה יְדֵיהֶם כּוֹנֲנָה עֲלֵיהֶם. |
May You bestow Your heavenly goodness upon Queen Camilla, who stands at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty, together with all the members of the Royal Family. Grant the counsellors of our Sovereign and all the representatives of the Nation, a spirit of wisdom and understanding, so that their deliberations lead to the benefit of all. |
קָרֵב הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יִוָּדַע בַּגּוֹיִם כִּי אָב־אֶחָד לְכֻלָּֽנוּ וְאֵל אֶחָד בְּרָאָֽנוּ. אָז יוֹפִֽיעַ אוֹר צֶֽדֶק עֹלָמִים וּמָלְאָה הָאָֽרֶץ דֵּעָה אֶת־יהוה כַּמַּֽיִם לַיָּם מְכַסִּים אָמֵן. |
Hasten the days when all people understand that they have one God, who created us all. Then the light of universal justice will sweep through the world, and the knowledge of God will cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea. Amen. |

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.
