Utinam Deus beet Americam/Utinam Deus fortunet Americam
The subjunctives 'beet' and 'fortunet' are hortatory. 'Ut' may be used instead of 'utinam' in poetry.

The approximate pronunciation of these sentences, using the Restored pronunciation, is OO-tih-nahm DEH-oos BEH-eht ah-MEH-rih-kahm and OO-tih-nahm DEH-oos fawr-TOO-neht ah-MEH-rih-kahm resoectively. The Ecclesiastical pronunciations would be OO-tee-nahm DAY-oos BAY-eht ah-MAY-ree-kahm and OO-tee-nahm DAY-oos fawr-TOO-neht ah-MAY-ree-kahm respectively.

Here there is an identical question that was previously asked. The only difference is that they chose imperative instead of subjunctive for the translation:

Joseph Brazauskas
: 'Benedicere' means 'to speak well of, to praise', not 'to bless' in classical Latin./The asker wanted a translation of 'God bless America', not 'God speak well of America' or 'God praise America'. In the Vulgate 'benedico' renders Hebrew 'praise, adore'.

Since we are talking of one God, it makes more sense to use the Christian time-honored Latin word 'benedicere', which in addition is closer to the actual sense of bless.
