Father of mercy in whose hands are the souls of the living and the dead, hear our prayers on behalf of the victims of the terrorist attacks this week in London.

Protect the people of this city from terror and fear, as it is written:
"You shall not fear terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day." Bring the evildoers to justice and frustrate the plans of those who seek evil against us, so that all may know that You are the G-d of life who commands us to sanctify life. May this be Your will and let us say: Amen.
