I don't understand hebrew very well, but every time I read it, I think how beautiful is, but I really don't understand it. I was going to look it up in a siddur that has translation, but I can't find that siddur Rolling Eyes . TIA

(from the linear Metzudah siddur. I highly recommend their siddur and tehillim
although I understand most of Tehillim, there's always a word or two that can throw me
and I love to be able to just glance across at the translation
I also find it helps me focus on the meaning beacuse each phrase has its own line.

Sim shalom .............Grant peace
tova uvracha............. goodness and blessing
chen vachesed ............. favor, kindness
verachamim ............. and compassion
aleinu ............. upon us
v'al kol yisrael amecha .............and upon all Israel, your people
borchenu avinu ............. Bless us, our Father
kulanu ke'echad .............all of us as one
be'ohr panecha .............with the light of Your countenance
ki be'ohr panecha ............. for by the light of Your countenance
nasata lanu ............. You gave us
Hashem Elokeinu
toras chaim .............A Torah of life
ve'achavas chesed .............and a love of kindness
utzedakah uvrcha verachamim ............. righteousness, blessing, compassion
chayim vesholom............. life and peace
vetov be'enecha levarech ............. and may it be good in Your sight
es amcha yisrael ............. to bless your people Israel
bechol es uvechol sha'ah ............. at all times and at every moment
bishlomecha .............with Your peace
Baruch atah Hashem
hamevarech as amo yisrael............. who blesses his people Israel
bashalom ............. with peace
