Are you looking for the Serenity Prayer in Hebrew?

Yes, it's nice in German, too. Gott gebe mir die Gelassenheit, die Dinge hinzunehmen, die ich nicht ändern kann.....

Here in Dutch as I found it on Google..

Quote:God, schenk me
kalmte om te aanvaarden wat ik niet kan veranderen,
moed om te veranderen wat ik wel kan veranderen
en wijsheid om het verschil hiertussen te zien.

Would be interesting to hear how it's pronounced.

Blue Bird has a point. Context is important when determining how to translate. Are you seeking to translate what is known as the Serenity Prayer? Are you looking to put these on a ring or bracelet or other piece of jewelry? Perhaps on a t-shirt? If so, what do you mean by those words?

I think the Wikipedia translation is better than the colloquial one above.

Specifically:
Serenity שַׁלְוָה
Courage אֹמֶץ
Wisdom תְּבוּנָה
