Blessed art Thou, O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who created joy
and gladness, a groom and his bride, mirth and merriment, dancing and
delight, love and harmony, peace and friendship. O L-rd our G-d, may
there soon be heard again in the cities of Judah and in the streets of
Jerusalem joyful voices: the voices of groom and bride joined in
marriage under the chupa, voices of young people feasting and
celebrating. Blessed art Thou, O L-rd, who makes the groom rejoice with
his bride.
