Eternal God, receive our prayers for the peace and security of the State of Israel and its people.
Spread blessing upon the Land and upon all who labor in its interest.
Protect Israeli soldiers as they defend our people against missiles and hate.
Protect the innocent among the Palestinian people, that they may be safe and free from death and injury.
Inspire Israel’s leaders to both defend our people and follow the ways of righteousness and compassion.
Remove from the hearts of our people fear, hatred, malice, strife, and vengeance.
May the Jewish people scattered throughout the earth stand strong in solidarity with the state of Israel in times of war and peace, and may they be infused with the ancient hope of Zion.
May our people be encouraged by the symbol of Jerusalem as the eternal city of peace.
May the State of Israel be a blessing to all its inhabitants and to the Jewish people everywhere,
May she be a light to the nations of the world.
Amen!
