| | "You make these beloved companions greatly rejoice even as You rejoiced in Your creation in the Garden of Eden as of old. You Abound in Blessings, Adonai our G-d, who makes the bridegroom and bride to rejoice.

| | "You Abound in Blessings, Adonai our G-d, who created joy and gladness, bridegroom and bride, mirth and exultation, pleasure and delight, love, fellowship, peace and friendship. Soon may there be heard in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the jubilant voice of the bridegrooms from their canopies and of youths from their feast of song as the Messiah who is the eternal bridegroom to all who trust Him returns to gather Jacob's children from every corner of the earth. You Abound in Blessings, Adonai our G-d, You make the bridegroom rejoice with the bride."

Note: These Seven Blessings are almost identical to the traditional Seven Blessings already given in Chapter I in the section on Jewish ceremonies; the important difference is the mention of the Messiah in the seventh blessing where He is referred to as the "eternal bridegroom to all who trust Him."
