Endow our leaders with your justice, O God,
our children with your righteousness.
Judge your people in righteousness, and
give the weak and vulnerable justice.
Bestow on us the majesty of the mountains,
and the fruition of the orchards.
Defend the sick and wounded, and
help our needy children
Her radiance will endure as long as the sun,
Her presence as long as the moon,
always in all ways.
She will nurture us like rain on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth
She will quench our thirst.
Long live God!
For She is precious to us.
Pray to Her, and
bless Her everyday in every way.
In Her days the just will flourish;
prosperity will abound for all our time.
She will rule from sea to sea
and to the ends of the earth.
Foreigners will bow before Her, and
Her enemies will taste the sand.
Merchants from distant shores
will bring tribute to Her;
Leaders of every nation
will present Her with gifts.
Yes, the heads of nations will bow down to Her
and all peoples will serve Her.
