אַב הָרַחֲמָן שְׁמַע קוֹלֵינוּ שְׁלַח בֶּן דָּוִד וְיִגְאֲלֵנוּ נָשוּב לְצִיּוֹן עִיר קָדְשֵׁינוּ וְנִשְׁלוֹט בָהּ בְיָד רָמָה	Merciful Father, hear our voices Send the descendant of David to save us We will return to Tsiyon, our holy city And we will rule it proudly
שָׁמָּה נִתְאַסֵּף בְּעִיר הַבִּירָה וּמֵחָדָשׁ יִשָּׁמַע קוֹל שִׁירָה וְאָז נַדְלִיק אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה בְּבֵית שׁוֹכֵן מְעוֹנָה	We will gather in the capital city And the voice of singing will be heard anew Then we will light the menorah In the house where God’s presence rests
רְאֵה בָּעֳנִי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַמֶּךָ וְהָשִׁיבֵם נָא לִגְבוּלָךָ וְאָז יֵרָאֶה כָּל זְכוּרֶךָ שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בַּשָּׁנָה	O, see the hardship of your people Yisra’el And return them please to your borders Then all will appear before you Three times a year, as you commanded.

Properly attribute the work to Honi Sanders (translation) and Asher Mizrahi.
Clearly indicate the date you accessed the work and in what ways, if any, you modified it. (If you have adapted the work, let us know so that the contributor might consider endorsing your revision.)

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.

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
