Reader:

Our God and God of our fathers, be pleased with our rest. Sanctify us with thy commandments and grant us a share in thy Torah; satisfy us with thy goodness and gladden us with thy deliverance; purify our heart to serve thee in truth; and, in thy gracious love, Lord our God, grant that we keep thy holy Sabbath as a heritage, and that Israel, who hallow thy name, may rest on it. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hallowest the Sabbath.

Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which he has created according to his will. May he establish his kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire house of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May his great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be he, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May the prayers and supplications of the whole household of Israel be accepted by their Father who is in heaven; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in his celestial heights, may he create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
