May the Lord protect and defend you. |
|
May He always shield you from shame. |
|
May you come to be |
|
In Israel a shining name. |
|
|
|
May you be like Ruth and like Esther. |
|
May you be deserving of praise. |
|
Strengthen them, Oh Lord, |
|
And keep them from the strangers' ways. |
|
|
|
May God bless you and grant you long lives. |
|
(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.) |
|
May God make you good mothers and wives. |
|
(May He send you husbands who will care for you.) |
|
|
|
May the Lord protect and defend you. |
|
May the Lord preserve you from pain. |
|
Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace. |
|
Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen. |
