O Lord, make thy servant Elizabeth our Queen to rejoice in thy strength:
give her her heart's desire, and deny not the request of her lips;
but prevent her with thine everlasting blessing,
and give her a long life, even for ever and ever. Amen.
N.B. for male monarchs (James I - James II) "Elizabeth our Queen" was replaced by "Our sov'reign lord the King" (and "her" by "his"/"him")

O Herr, lass deine Dienerin Elisabeth, unsere Königin, sich deiner Stärke erfreuen. Gib ihr, was ihr Herz begehrt, und versage ihr nicht den Wunsch auf ihren Lippen, sondern komme ihr zuvor mit deinem ewigwährenden Segen, und gib ihr ein langes Leben, sogar ein ewiges. Amen.
