Prayer for the Israel Defense Forces
מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת חַיָּלֵי צְבָא הֲגַנָּה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, הָעוֹמְדִים עַל מִשְׁמַר אַרְצֵנוּ וְעָרֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִגְּבוּל הַלְּבָנוֹן וְעַד מִדְבַּר מִצְרַיִם וּמִן הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל עַד לְבוֹא הָעֲרָבָה בַּיַּבָּשָׁה בָּאֲוִיר וּבַיָּם. יִתֵּן ה’ אֶת אוֹיְבֵינוּ הַקָּמִים עָלֵינוּ נִגָּפִים לִפְנֵיהֶם. הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא יִשְׁמֹר וְיַצִּיל אֶת חַיָלֵינוּ מִכָּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה וּמִכָּל נֶגַע וּמַחֲלָה וְיִשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה בְּכָל מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם. יַדְבֵּר שׂוֹנְאֵינוּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶם וִיעַטְרֵם בְּכֶתֶר יְשׁוּעָה וּבַעֲטֶרֶת נִצָּחון. וִיקֻיַּם בָּהֶם הַכָּתוּב: כִּי ה’ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם אֹיְבֵיכֶם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם: וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן:
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob -- may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
Now let us respond: Amen.
Prayer for the Success of Am Yisrael
May it be Your will, Hashem our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that You be filled with mercy towards us and towards Your entire nation of Israel and save us from the hands of all our enemies and haters, and from the hand of all those who wish to harm us. Nullify their counsel and disrupt their designs, and may their hands create no enterprise, as it says, “Utzu eitzah – Plot and plan – and you will fail; confer, conspire – it will not come to be, because G-d is with us.” Hashem, foil the plans of nations and disrupt their designs, and may their swords go into their own hearts and may their bows break.
Please, Hashem, may You feel merciful towards us and towards all Your Jewish people. Rise from the throne of strict justice and sit on the throne of mercy, and go beyond the letter of the law, and annul all harsh and bad decrees on us, and make good decrees, salvations and consolations, for the sake of Your mercy, and tear up the evil decree on us and may our merits be read before You.
“Arise to help us and redeem us for the sake of Your loyalty.” (Psalm 34:22)
Please, Hashem, protect your servants, your flock, who are in captivity in Gaza, protect the army soldiers and the security forces, save them from snares. May no harm befall them, and may no sickness come to their homes, and save them from all kinds of mishaps and accidents that come into the world, and may all the sick people of Your nation receive a complete recovery, all the wounded, and hear our beseeching, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed [are You], Who hears prayers. May the words of my mouth and my heart’s reflections please You, Hashem, my Rock and redeemer.
May Hashem give might to His people; may Hashem bless His people with peace.
Amen, Amen
