מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב, הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת חַיָּלֵי צְבָא הַהֲגַנָּה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל [וְאַנְשֵׁי כֹּחוֹת הַבִּטָּחוֹן], הָעוֹמְדִים עַל מִשְׁמַר אַרְצֵנוּ וְעָרֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ, מִגְּבוּל הַלְּבָנוֹן וְעַד מִדְבַּר מִצְרַיִם, וּמִן הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל עַד לְבוֹא הָעֲרָבָה [וּבְכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהֵם], בַּיַּבָּשָׁה בָּאֲוִיר וּבַיָּם. יִתֵּן יְיָ אֶת אוֹיְבֵינוּ הַקָּמִים עָלֵינוּ נִגָּפִים לִפְנֵיהֶם. הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא יִשְׁמֹר וְיַצִּיל אֶת חַיָלֵינוּ מִכׇּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה, וּמִכׇּל נֶגַע וּמַחֲלָה, וְיִשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה בְּכָל מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם. יַדְבֵּר שׂוֹנְאֵינוּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶם, וִיעַטְּרֵם בְּכֶתֶר יְשׁוּעָה וּבַעֲטֶרֶת נִצָּחוֹן. וִיקֻיַּם בָּהֶם הַכָּתוּב (דברים כ', ד'): "כִּי יְיָ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם, לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם אֹיְבֵיכֶם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם". וְנֹאמַר "אָמֵן". Transliteration Mi sheberach avoteinu Avraham, Yitzchak, v'Yaakov, Hu yevareich et chayalei tzeva hahaganah l'Yisrael [v'anshei kochot habitachon], ha'omdim al mishmar artzeinu v'arei Eloheinu, migvul haLevanon v'ad midbar Mitzrayim, umin hayam hagadol ad l'vo ha'Aravah [uv'chol makom shehem], bayabashah, ba'avir, uvayam.

Vikuyam bahem hakatuv (Devarim 20:4): "Ki Adonai Eloheichem hahole'ch imachem, l'hilacheim lachem im oyveichem l'hoshia etchem". V'nomar "Amen". Translation May the One who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d, from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Arava, [and wherever they may be,] on land, in the air, and at sea! May the L-rd cause our enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before us! May the Holy One, Blessed be He, guard and save our soldiers from all trouble and distress, from all plague and illness, and send blessing and success to all the work of their hands. May He subdue our enemies before them, and crown our soldiers with a crown of salvation and a wreath of victory. And may there be fulfilled for them what is written: "For the L-rd your G-d is the One who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you! And let us say, Amen!"
