Prayer of the State of Israel

Our Father in Heaven,

the Rock and Redeemer of Israel,

Bless the State of Israel,

the first sprouting of our redemption.

Protect it with Your great kindness,

spread over it the shelter of Your peace,

grant Your light and truth to its leaders, ministers, and advisors,

and provide them with Your good counsel.

Strengthen the hands of the defenders of our Holy Land,

bequeath deliverance to them, our God,

crown them with the crown of victory,

and give peace to the land

and everlasting joy to its inhabitants.

And remember all our brethren of the House of Israel,

in all the lands of their dispersion,

and bring them quickly to Zion, Your city,

and to Jerusalem, the domicile of Your name,

as it is written in the Torah of Moses, Your servant:

Even if your outcasts are at the end of the heavens

the Lord, your God, will gather you and take you from there.

And the Lord, your God, will bring you to the land that Your forefathers inherited, and you shall inherit it,

and He shall benefit you and make your numbers greater than your fathers.

Then the Lord, your God, will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your offspring,

to love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul,

in order that you may live (Deuteronomy 30:4-6).

Unify our hearts to love and be awed by Your name,

and to keep all the words of Your Torah,

and may You dispatch the son of David, Your righteous Messiah, to us,

to redeem those awaiting Your final salvation.

Appear with the glory and pride of Your strength

before all the inhabitants of Your world,

and may all who have breath in them say,

"The Lord, God of Israel, is the King,

and His kingdom is over everything."

Amen, selah.
