National Shomrim Prayer
for Soldiers and Public Safety Officers
of Israel and the United States
He who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – may He bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the holy cities that are Yours from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Arovah, on the land, in the air and on the sea. May He bless and protect the soldiers of the United States of America and our Allies, who risk their lives to protect and defend not only our borders but our right to Freedom and Democracy, here on our land and wherever we are threatened. May He bless and protect all Police Officers, Law Enforcement Agents, Firefighters, and Public Safety Officers of this great Nation, who at the risk of their own lives protect the citizens of our cities and this country from those who wish us harm. May He preserve and rescue all these courageous 'Shomrim' from every trouble, distress, plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor. May He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse:
"For it is Hashem, your God, who goes with you to battle your enemies for you, to save you."
Now let us respond: Amen
