וְיַפִּיל שׂוֹנְאָיו לְפָנָיו וּבְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִפְנֶה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃	May he make his enemies fall before him; and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper.
מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים בְּרַחֲמָיו יִתֵּן בְּלִבּוֹ וּבְלֵב כׇּל יוֹעֲצַיו רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה לְהַחֲזִיק שְׁלוֹם הַמַּלְכוּת וְשַׁלְוַת עַמּוֹ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת חֶֽסֶד וֶאֶמֶת עִם כׇּל יִשְׂרָאֵל׃	May the supreme King of kings in his mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel.
בְּיָמָיו וּבְיָמֵֽינוּ תִּוָּשַׁע יְהוּדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל יִשְׁכּוֹן לָבֶֽטַח וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן וְנֺאמַר אָמֵן׃	In his days and in our ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be his will; and let us say, Amen.
