Sound the great shofar [to proclaim] our freedom,
Lift up the banner for the ingathering of our exiles,
And bring us together from the four corners of the earth.
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who gathers together the dispersed of His people Israel.
RESTORATION OF JUSTICE (BIRKAT HAMISHPAT)
Restore our judges as at first,
And our counselors as in the beginning,
Removing from us sorrow and sighing;
Rule over us, Thou alone, O Lord
With kindness and mercy,
And vindicate us in the judgment.
Blessed are Thou, Lord, King, who loves righteousness and judgment.
DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL’S ENEMIES (BIRKAT HAMINIM)
For slanderers let there be no hope,
And let all wickedness instantly perish.
May all Thy enemies be quickly cut off;
And as for the malicious,
Swiftly uproot, break, cast down and subdue
Quickly in our day.
Blessed art Thou, Lord, who breaks the power of His enemies and subdues the
malicious.
PRAYER FOR THE RIGHTEOUS (BIRKAT HA TZADIKIM)
On the righteous and the saintly,
On the elders of Thy people, the house of Israel, and on their surviving scholars.
On the true proselyte and on ourselves,
Let Thy compassion flow, O Lord our God.
Grant a good reward to all who sincerely trust in Thy Name,
Place our lot with them forever and let us not be ashamed,
For in Thee do we trust.
Blessed art Thou, Lord, the support and security of the righteous.
RESTORATION OF JERUSALEM (BIRKAT YERUSHALAYIM)
To Jerusalem Thy city, return with compassion,
And dwell within it as Thou promised;
Rebuild it soon in our days—an everlasting structure;
And speedily establish in its midst the throne of David.
Blessed art Thou, Lord, builder of Jerusalem.
COMING OF THE MESSIAH (BIRKAT DAVID)
The offspring of Thy servant David,
Quickly cause to flourish,
And lift up his power by Thy deliverance;
For thy deliverance do we constantly hope.
Blessed art Thou, lord, who makes the glory of deliverance to flourish.
