God of Justice, Thou who savedUs heretofore from annihilation,Hear also henceforth our voices,And henceforth be our salvation.

With Thy mighty hand lead, defendThe future of the Serbian path;God, save, God, protectThe Serbian lands, the Serbian race!

Unite dear Serbian brothersIn every proud glorious work;Unity will be the devil's undoingAnd the strongest fortress of Serbdom.

May on the Serbian branch shine forthThe golden fruit of brotherly unity;God, save, God, protectThe Serbian lands, the Serbian race!

May upon the hot Serbian foreheadThe thunder of Thy wrath never fall.Bless for the Serb his village,Field, meadow, city, and house!

When the days of battle come,Lead his march to victory.God, save, God, protectThe Serbian lands, the Serbian race!

From the dark deep graveNew Serbian glories shine forth.A new era has begun;God, give new happiness!

Protect the Serbian fatherland,The fruit of five centuries of battle;God, save, God, protectThe Serbian lands, the Serbian race!
