[a]May he (A)vindicate the [b]afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy,
And crush the oppressor.

[c]May they fear You (B)while the sun shines,
And [d]as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations.
[e]May he come down (C)like rain upon the mown grass,
Like (D)showers that water the earth.
