Sabbath Prayer

May the Lord protect and defend you
 May He always shield you from shame
 May you come to be
 In Israel a shining name
 May you be like Ruth and like Esther
 May you be deserving of praise
 Strengthen them, Oh Lord
 And keep them from the strangers' ways
 ♪
 May God bless you and grant you long lives
 (May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you)
 May God make you good mothers and wives
 (May He send you husbands who will care for you)
 May the Lord protect and defend you
 May the Lord preserve you from pain
 Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace
 Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer
 ♪
 Amen
