Hebrew

יִשְׂמְחוּ בְמַלְכוּתְךָ שׁוֹמְרֵי
שַׁבָּת וְקוֹרְאֵי עֹנֶג,
עַם מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁבִיעִי, כֻּלָּם
יִשְׂבְּעוּ וְיִתְעַנְּגוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ,
וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי רָצִיתָ בּוֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ,
חֶמְדַּת יָמִים1 אוֹתוֹ קָרָאתָ,
זֵכֶר לְמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית:

Sephardi

Yismechu ve-malchutcha shomrei

am mekadshei shevi'i, kulam
yisbe'u ve-yit'anegu mi-tuvecha,
u-va-shevi'i ratzita bo ve-kidashto,

English

Those who keep Shabbat and call it a pleasure will be happy that You are King. All of the Jewish Nation, Your people, who make the seventh day holy, will feel satisfied from Your goodness and they will enjoy it. You were pleased with the seventh day and made it holy. You called it the most desirable of all days.1 It is a reminder of Your work during the six days of creation and Your resting on the seventh day.

During the chazzan’s repetition of the Amidah, the congregation responds אמן as shown.

Bless us with goodness for the coming month

בְּמִצְוֹתֶיךָ וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְתוֹרָתֶךָ,
שַׂבְּעֵנוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ וְשַׂמַּח נַפְשֵׁנוּ
בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ, וְטַהֵר לִבֵּנוּ לְעָבְדְּךָ
בֶּאֱמֶת, וְהַנְחִילֵנוּ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ
בְּאַהֲבָה וּבְרָצוֹן שַׁבַּת קָדְשֶׁךָ,
וְיָנוּחוּ בוֹ כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל מְקַדְּשֵׁי
שְׁמֶךָ. כִּי בְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּחַרְתָּ
מִכָּל הָאֻמּוֹת, וְשַׁבַּת קָדְשְׁךָ לָהֶם
הוֹדַעְתָּ, וְחֻקֵּי רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים לָהֶם
קָבַעְתָּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, מְקַדֵּשׁ

Our God and the God of our fathers, please willingly accept2 our resting from work on Shabbat. On this Shabbat day, renew this month for us for good and for blessing, (Amen) for joy and for happiness, (Amen) for salvation and for comfort, (Amen) for livelihood and for sustenance, (Amen) for good life and for peace, (Amen) for forgiving unintentional sins, and for forgiving intentional sins. (Amen) Make us holy through Your commandments and give us our portion in Your Torah, so that we will be able to learn it properly. Satisfy us with Your goodness and make our souls happy with Your salvation. Make our hearts pure in order for us to serve You honestly and in truth. Lord, our God, give us Your holy Shabbat as an inheritance—an everlasting gift—lovingly and willingly. All the Children of Israel, who make Your name holy, will rest on Shabbat, because You have chosen Your nation, the Children of Israel, from among all the other nations and You have made Your holy Shabbat known to them. You have also established the laws of Rosh Chodesh for them. Blessed are You, Lord, who makes the day of Shabbat, the Children of Israel, and the days of Rosh Chodesh holy.
