עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם — סיום
עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו, הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
יְראוּ אֶת יְיָ קְדֹשָׁיו, כִּי אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָיו.
כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵבוּ, וְדֹרְשֵׁי יְיָ לֹא יַחְסְרוּ כָל טוֹב.
הוֹדוּ לַיְיָ כִּי טוֹב, כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
פּוֹתֵחַ אֶת יָדֶךָ, וּמַשְׂבִּיעַ לְכָל חַי רָצוֹן.
בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּיְיָ, וְהָיָה יְיָ מִבְטַחוֹ.
נַעַר הָיִיתִי גַּם זָקַנְתִּי, וְלֹא רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב, וְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ לָחֶם.
יְיָ עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן, יְיָ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם.
Oseh Shalom — Closing
He who makes peace in His high places, may He make peace for us and for all Israel, and say Amen.
Fear the Lord, you His holy ones, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
Young lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His kindness is everlasting.
You open Your hand and satisfy every living creature with its desire.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord; the Lord will be his security.
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
