Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, Who chose good prophets and was pleased with their words, which were spoken in truth. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who chooses the Torah and Moses, Your servant, and Israel, Your people, and the prophets of truth and righteousness.
After the Haftarah reading
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
צוּר כָּל הָעוֹלָמִים
צַדִּיק בְּכָל הַדּוֹרוֹת
הָאֵל הַנֶּאֱמָן הָאוֹמֵר וְעוֹשֶׂה
הַמְדַבֵּר וּמְקַיֵּם
שֶׁכָּל דְּבָרָיו אֱמֶת וָצֶדֶק
נֶאֱמָן אַתָּה הוּא יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וְנֶאֱמָנִים דְּבָרֶיךָ
וְדָבָר אֶחָד מִדְּבָרֶיךָ אָחוֹר לֹא יָשׁוּב רֵיקָם
כִּי אֵל מֶלֶךְ נֶאֱמָן וְרַחֲמָן אָתָּה
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה
הָאֵל הַנֶּאֱמָן בְּכָל דְּבָרָיו
Baruch Ata Adonai, Eloheinu melekh ha’olam,
tzur kol ha’olamim
tzadik b’chol hadorot
ha-El hane-eman ha-omer v’oseh

Ne-eman, Ata hu Adonai Eloheinu,
v’ne-emanim d’varecha
v’davar echad mid’varecha achor lo yashuv reikam
ki El melech ne-eman verachaman Ata.
Baruch Ata Adonai,
ha-El hane-eman b’chol d’varav.
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, Rock of all the worlds, Righteous in all generations, Almighty and faithful, Who says and does, Who speaks and fulfills, for all of Your words are true and righteous. Reliable are You, Adonai our God, and reliable are Your words. Not one of them is ever retracted unfulfilled, for You are Almighty, Sovereign Who is dependable and merciful. Blessed are You, Adonai, the Almighty Who is reliable in all of God’s words.
רַחֵם עַל צִיּון כִּי הִיא בֵּית חַיֵּינוּ
וְלַעֲלוּבַת נֶפֶשׁ תּושִׁיעַ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה. מְשַׂמֵּחַ צִיּון בְּבָנֶיהָ
Racheim al Tzion ki hi beit chayeinu,

Baruch Ata Adonai m’samei-ach Tzion b’vaneha.
Have compassion on Zion, the home of our life. Deliver the one whose soul is humiliated speedily, in our days. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who causes Zion to rejoice with her children.
שַׂמְּחֵנוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּאֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא עַבְדֶּךָ
וּבְמַלְכוּת בֵּית דָּוִד מְשִׁיחֶךָ
בִּמְהֵרָה יָבוֹא וְיָגֵל לִבֵּנוּ
עַל כִּסְאוֹ לֹא יֵשֵׁב זָר
וְלֹא יִנְחֲלוּ עוֹד אֲחֵרִים אֶת כְּבוֹדוֹ
כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשְׁךָ נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לוֹ
שֶׁלֹּא יִכְבֶּה נֵרוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה. מָגֵן דָּוִד

Baruch Ata Adonai, magen David.
Cause us to rejoice, Adonai our God, with Elijah the prophet, your servant, and with the kingdom of the House of David, Your anointed. May he come swiftly, causing our hearts to exult. No stranger shall sit upon his throne, and no others will inherit his honor, for by Your holy Name, You swore to him that his light would never be extinguished. Blessed are You, Adonai, Shield of David.

עַל הַכֹּל יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
אֲנַחְנוּ מוֹדִים לָךְ וּמְבָרְכִים אוֹתָךְ
יִתְבָּרַךְ שִׁמְךָ בְּפִי כָּל חַי תָּמִיד לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה. מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַּׁבָּת
Al haTorah, v’al ha-avoda,
v’al han’vi-im, v’al yom haShabbat hazeh!
Shenatata lanu, Adonai Eloheinu,

Yitbarach shimcha b’fi kol chai tamid l’olam va’ed.
Baruch Ata Adonai m’kadeish haShabbat!
For the Torah, for worship, for the prophets, and for this Shabbat which You have given us, Adonai our God, for holiness and for rest, for honor and for glory. For all this, Adonai our God, we thank You and bless You; blessed be Your Name by the mouths of all the living, now and forever. Blessed are You, Adonai, Sanctifier of the Sabbath.
