Blessed be the Lord who every day - Rabbi Simeon the Great

Blessed be the Lord who every day
sets on us salvation and redemption.
In His glorious name we delight at all times;
throu8gh His salvation we hold our head high.
A stronghold is He for the poor, for the needy a refuge.

Blessed be our God who for His glory created us
to praise and exalt Him and declare His majesty.
He has shown us above others His grace and His kindness.
So with all our heart, soul and might
we proclaim Him the king in His unity.

May He, source of peace, give us blessing and peace.
From all sides may peace come unto Israel.
All-merciful, bless Your people with peace,
that they may see their children, and their children’s children,
busy with Torah, fulfilling its commands.
May Israel know peace from Him who is ‘wonderful in counsel
God the mighty, the eternal father, prince of peace’.
