O Lord our God we turn to Thee in hope as did our fathers.
May Thy mercy descend upon our people in all their habitations.
Extend thy protection and help unto our brothers who struggle 
in lands of darkness as victims of oppression and persecution.
Fill the hearts of all men with a love of freedom and justice,
that tyranny may vanish and the reign of righteousness be established.
Grant us strength that with Thy help 
we may bring a new light to shine upon Zion.
So that from Zion shall go forth the law
and the Word of God from Jerusalem.
