רִבּוֹן הָעוֹלָמִים
שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלַּת כָּל־פֶּה |
Sovereign of the Universe
Who hearkens to our prayers. We stand before You in solidarity with all who are enduring the darkness of human conflict in Ukraine. |
|
May You protect all innocent men, women and children
at this moment of great peril for them, their country, for Europe and the world. |
|
Bring fortitude to the vulnerable,
resilience to the insecure and strength to those who live in fear. |
|
Incline the hearts of national leaders towards peace and reconciliation
and bless them with the wisdom, vision and perseverance needed to end this war and restore peace to the region. |
|
Almighty God,
strengthen the hands of those who pursue peace, not war. Bring harmony where there is hostility; relief where there is pain and hope where there is despair. |
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו
הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עַל כָּל יוֺשְׁבֵי תֵבֶל |
May He who makes peace in high places
Make peace for all on earth. |
וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן
וָנֺאמַר אָמֵן׃ |
May this be your will
And let us say Amen. |
