הַשְׁכִּיבֵנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְשָׁלוֹם וְהַעֲמִידֵנוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ לְחַיִּים וּפְרוֹשׂ עָלֵינוּ סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמֶךָ וְתַקְּנֵנוּ בְּעֵצָה טוֹבָה מִלְּפָנֶיךָ וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ וְהָגֵן בַּעֲדֵנוּ וְהָסֵר מֵעָלֵינוּ אוֹיֵב דֶּבֶר וְחֶרֶב וְרָעָב וְיָגוֹן וְהָסֵר שָׂטָן מִלְּפָנֵינוּ וּמֵאַחֲרֵינוּ וּבְצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵנוּ כִּי אֵל שׁוֹמְרֵנוּ וּמַצִּילֵנוּ אָתָּה כִּי אֵל מֶלֶךְ חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם אָתָּה וּשְׁמוֹר צֵאתֵנוּ וּבוֹאֵנוּ לְחַיִּים וּלְשָׁלוֹם מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם:

Translation (Lev Shalem)
Allow us, ADONAI our God, to sleep peacefully; awaken us to life, O sovereign.
Spread over us Your canopy of peace, restore us with Your good counsel, and save us for the sake of Your name.
Shield us.
Some omit on Shabbat:
Remove from us enemies, pestilence, sword, starvation, and sorrow; remove the evil forces that surround us.
Shelter us in the shadow of Your wings, for You, God, watch over and deliver us, and You, God, are sovereign, merciful, and compassionate.
Ensure our going and coming for life and peace, now and forever.
May You spread over us Your canopy of peace.
Barukh atah ADONAI, who spreads the canopy of peace over us, over all the people Israel, and over Jerusalem.
