A Jewish Peace Prayer

Lord of Peace, Divine Ruler, to whom peace belongs!
Master of Peace, Creator of all things!

May it be thy will to put an end to war and bloodshed on earth, and to spread
a great and wonderful peace over the whole world, so that nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, shall they learn war anymore.

Help us and save us all, and let us cling tightly to the virtue of peace. Let there
be a truly great peace between every person and their fellow, and
between husband and wife, and let there be no discord between people
even in their hearts.

Let us never shame any person on earth, great or small. May it be granted unto
us to fulfill Thy Commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thyself," with all
our hearts and souls and bodies and possessions.

And let it come to pass in our time as it is written, "And I will give peace in the
land, and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid. I will drive
the wild beasts from the land, and neither shall the sword go through your
land."

God who is peace, bless us with peace!
