"Our Father who is in heaven, Protector and Redeemer of Israel,
bless the State of Israel, the dawn of our deliverance.
Shield it beneath the wings of Your love; spread over it
Your canopy of peace; send Your light and Your truth
to its leaders, officers and counselors, and direct them
with Your good counsel. Strengthen the defenders of
our Holy Land; grant them, our God, salvation and
crown them with victory. Establish peace in the land, and
everlasting joy for its inhabitants. Remember our brethren,
the whole house of Israel, in all the lands of their dispersion.
Speedily bring them to Zion, Your city, to Jerusalem Your
dwelling-place, as it is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses:
“Even if you are dispersed in the uttermost parts of the world,
from there the Lord your God will gather and fetch you.
The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your
ancestors possessed and you shall possess it; and God will
make you more prosperous and more numerous than
your ancestors.” Unite our hearts to love and revere
Your name, and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah.
Speedily send us Your righteous Messiah of the House of David,
to redeem those waiting for Your salvation.
Shine forth in Your glorious majesty over all the inhabitants of Your world.
Let everything that breathes proclaim: “The Lord God of Israel is King;
His majesty rules over all.” Amen. Selah."
This prayer is said in most Jewish denominations in Israel and a lot of denominations in the Jewish Diaspora as part of the prayer service on Shabbat and Jewish holy days. The prayer requests divine providence for the State of Israel and its leaders, and that the exiled Jewish people be gathered in to the Land of Israel.
After its composition in 1948, the prayer quickly became an important part of Jewish and Israeli liturgy.
Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel authored a prayer in tribute to the newly founded state, then edited by the author & Nobel laureate S. Y. Agnon. After its composition, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel approved the prayer's inclusion into the Jewish prayer service.
