Yivarech'cha Adonai v'yishmerecha.

Yisa Adonai panav eilecha v'yasem l'cha shalom.

Some add:
[Viyhi ratzon
milifnei avinu shebashamayim,
sheyiten b'lib'cha

vetiheye yirat Adonai al panecha
kol yemei chayecha.

Veyiten lecha banim uvanot
tzadikim v'tzadikot
oskim betorah uv'mitzvot.]
לבת:
יְשֲׁמֱֳך אֶלׂהִים
כְּשָׁרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֱאָה

לבן:
יְשֲׁמֵך אֶלׂהִים
כֶּאֶפְרַיִם וְכִמְנָשֶׁה

יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ:
יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וִיחֻנֶּךָּ:
יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם:

יש אומרים:
[וִיהִי רָצוֹן
מִלִּפְנֵי אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם,
שֶׁיִּתֵּן בְּלִבְּךָ
אַהֲבָתוֹ וְיִרְאָתוֹ,
וְתִהְיֶה יִרְאַת יהוה עַל פָּנֶיךָ
כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ.

וְיִתֶּן לְךָ בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת
צַדִּיקִים וְצַדִּיקוֹת
עוֹסְקִים בַּתּוֹרָה וּבְמִצְווֹת.]
