Vehayu Limshisa Shosayich

 
והיו למשסה שוסיך


V’hayu lim’shisa shosai’yich,
V’rachaku kol m’valai’yich.
Yasis alai’yich Elohai’yich;
Kimsos chatan al kala.
Lecha dodi likrat kala, p’nei Shabbat n’kabelah!
והיו למשסה שוסיך ורחקו כל מבלעיך, ישיש עליך אלוקיך כמשוש חתן על כלה, לכה דודי לקראת כלה פני שבת נקבלה

Translation:

And they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that would swallow thee shall be far away: thy God shall rejoice over thee, as a bridegroom rejoiceth​ over his bride.

Translation from The Standard Prayer book by Simeon Singer (1915) (public domain)
