Hebrew
בָּרֵךְ עָלֵינוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֶת הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת
וְאֶת כָּל מִינֵי תְּבוּאָתָהּ, לְטוֹבָה
בחורף: וְתֵן טַל וּמָטָר לִבְרָכָה / בקיץ: וְתֵן בְּרָכָה
עַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה, וְשַׂבְּעֵנוּ מִטּוּבָהּ
וּבָרֵךְ שְׁנָתֵנוּ כַּשָּׁנִים הַטּוֹבוֹת לִבְרָכָה
כִּי אֵל טוֹב וּמֵטִיב אָתָּה, וּמְבָרֵךְ הַשָּׁנִים.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, מְבָרֵךְ הַשָּׁנִים.

ki Eil tov umeitiv atah, umevarech hashanim.
Baruch atah Adonai, mevarech hashanim.

Hebrew
הָשִׁיבָה שׁוֹפְטֵינוּ כְּבָרִאשׁוֹנָה
