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.
