Comfort, O LORD our God, the mourners of Jerusalem and those who mourn here. Grant them consolation in their mourning and gladness in their grief, as it is said, "As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and in Jerusalem you shall find comfort." Blessed are You, LORD, who brings comfort to Zion through the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Amen.

הַמֶּלֶךְ הַחַי, הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב. אֵל אֱמֶת, דַּיָּן אֱמֶת, שׁוֹפֵט צֶדֶק, לוֹקֵחַ
נְפָשׁוֹת בְּמִשְׁפָּט, וְשַׁלִּיט בְּעוֹלָמוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת בּוֹ כִּרְצוֹנוֹ, כִּי כָּל דְּרָכָיו
מִשְׁפָּט, וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמּוֹ וַעֲבָדָיו, וְעַל הַכֹּל אֲנַחְנוּ חַיָּבִים לְהוֹדוֹת לוֹ
וּלְבָרְכוֹ. גּוֹדֵר פְּרָצוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל, הוּא יִגְדֹּר אֶת הַפִּרְצָה הַזֹּאת מֵעָלֵינוּ
לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם. הוּא יִגְמְלֵנוּ לָעַד חֵן וָחֶסֶד וְרַחֲמִים וְכָל טוֹב, וּמִכָּל

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe – God our Father, our King, our Sovereign, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Maker, our Holy One, the Holy One of Jacob. He is our Shepherd, Israel's Shepherd, our living King who is good and does good, the true God, the true Judge, who judges righteously and takes back souls in judgment. He rules the world according to His will, for all His ways are just, and we are His people and His servants. For everything, we are duty bound to acknowledge and bless Him. May He who repairs the breaches in Israel, repair this breach in us and grant us life and peace. May He always bestow on us grace, kindness, compassion and all good things. Of all that is good, may He never let us lack.
