為以色列禱告文

我們在天上的父,以色列的磐石與拯救者,
用祢對以色列救贖的應許來賜福它;
用祢的慈愛來護衛它;用祢的平安來環繞它。
用祢的光與祢的真理來引導以色列的領袖、部長與謀士,
用祢良善的商議來協助他們。
堅固那些捍衛聖地之人的手,
救他們脫離兇惡、為他們穿戴得勝的外袍
用平安來祝福這地,
用永恆的喜樂來祝福其上的居民。
迅速正直地將他們引領到祢的聖城錫安與耶路撒冷,
到祢名字的居所,正如祢僕人摩西在妥拉中所寫的:
『你被趕散的人,就是在天涯的,
耶和華─你的神也必從那裡將你招聚回來。
耶和華─你的神必領你進入你列祖所得的地,使你可以得著;
又必善待你,使你的人數比你列祖眾多。』
吸引我們的心一起來敬畏與尊崇祢的名,
遵守祢話語一切的訓誡,
快快賜給我們彌賽亞─大衛的子孫,
祂是祢為我們申冤的中保,
為了救贖那些等待祢拯救的人。
在世人眼前彰顯祢的榮耀,
願每一個靈魂都能承認主,以色列的神是王,
祂統管萬有,直到永遠。阿們!

Prayer for the State of Israel
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your lovingkindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory. Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.” Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.
Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute. Amen forevermore.
