‘Holy, holy, holy

is Adonoy Tzevaos,

the fullness of all the earth is His glory.'”

His glory fills the world,

His ministering angels

ask one another—

“Where is the place of His glory?”

those facing them say, “Blessed.”

His glory fills the world,

“Blessed is the glory of Adonoy

from His place.”

From His place,

He will turn in compassion

and favor the people

who proclaim the Oneness of His Name

evening and morning, each day continually

twice each day, with love,

they recite, “Shema.”

From His place,

Hear Yisrael,

Adonoy is our God, Adonoy is One.

He is our God, He is our Father,

He is our King, He is our Deliverer,

and He will let us hear in His mercy

a second time

in the presence of all the living

[His promise] “to be your God.”

He is our God, He is our Father,

He is our King, He is our Deliverer,

and He will let us hear in His mercy

a second time

in the presence of all the living

[His promise] “to be your God.”

“I am Adonoy, your God.”

Mighty One, our Mighty One,

Adonoy, our Master,

How mighty is Your Name

throughout the earth.

And Adonoy will be King

over the whole earth;

on that day Adonoy will be One,

and His Name One.

Mighty One, our Mighty One,

Adonoy, our Master,

How mighty is Your Name

throughout the earth.

And Adonoy will be King

over the whole earth;

on that day Adonoy will be One,

and His Name One.

And in Your holy words it is written:

“Adonoy will reign forever;

your God, Tziyon, throughout all generations;

praise God.”

From generation to generation

we will declare Your greatness,

and to all eternity

we will sanctify Your holiness;

and Your praise, our God

will not depart from our mouth

forever and ever;

because You are the Almighty

Who is King, Great and Holy!

Have compassion upon Your works,

and rejoice in Your works;

and let those who trust in You say—

when You justify those borne by You—

“Be sanctified, [our] Master

over all Your works.”

For those who sanctify You

are themselves hallowed in Your holiness;

becoming to the Holy One

is the glory of those who are holy.

And thus may Your Name be hallowed

Adonoy, our God,

over Yisrael, Your people,

over Yerushalayim, Your city,

over Tziyon, the dwelling place of Your glory,

over the kingship of the House of Dovid,

Your anointed,

and over Your [holy] Dwelling,

and Your Sanctuary.

It will yet be remembered on our behalf,—

the love of Avraham,—

by our Master;

and for the sake of the son [Yitzchak]

who let himself be bound on the altar,

He will put an end to our struggle;

and in the merit of the perfect one [Yaakov],

the Revered One will bring forth

our judgment to a righteous conclusion;

for this day is holy to our Master.

When there is no one to plead

[our] righteousness

against the testimony of the accuser,

speak on behalf of Yaakov

regarding the statute and law,

and make us righteous with justice,

[You, Who are the] King of justice

Who holds in His hand

the attribute of justice:

And all believe

that He is the faithful Almighty;

who probes and searches hidden secrets.

And all believe

that He probes man's conscience;

Who redeems from death

and rescues from the grave.

And all believe

that He is a Mighty Redeemer;

Who alone judges all who enter the world.

And all believe that He is a true Judge;

Who is called, “I am that I am”

And all believe that He is, was,

and always will be;

Certain is His Name, so is His praise.

And all believe

that He is, and there is none beside Him;

Who is mindful of those who mention Him,

recalling them with favor.

And all believe

that He is mindful of the covenant;

Who apportions life to all the living.

And all believe

that He is Living and Permanent;

Who is the source of goodness,

and is beneficent to the wicked and the good.

And all believe that He is good to all;

Who knows the impulsive nature

of all His creatures.

And all believe

that He formed them in the womb;

Who is able to accomplish all things,

and He completed their formation

at one time.

And all believe

that He is able to accomplish all things;

Who abides in the secret place—

in the shelter of Shaddai,

And all believe

He is the only One;

Who grants kingship to kings,

and [all] sovereignty is His.

And all believe

that He the eternal King;

Who guides every generation with kindness.

And all believe

that He preserves kindness;

Who is patient,

and overlooks the rebellious.

And all believe

that He pardons, Selah;

Who is most high,

and His eye looks to those who fear Him.

And all believe

that He answers prayer;

Who opens the door

to those who knock in repentance.

And all believe

that His hand is open;

Who eagerly waits for the wicked [to repent],

and desires his justification.

And all believe

that He is just and upright;

Who is slow to anger, and long suffering.

And all believe

that He is difficult to anger;

Who is merciful,

and His compassion precedes His anger.

And all believe

that He is easily reconciled;

Who is equal in His judgment

and treats equally the small and the great.

And all believe

that He is a just Judge;

Who is perfect and completely just

with those who are perfect [with Him:]

And all believe

that He is perfect in all His work.

And so,

grant that Your awe, Adonoy, our God,

be upon all Your works,

and Your dread upon all You have created;

and [then] all [Your] works will fear You,

and prostrate before You

will be all [Your] created beings.

And may they all form a single band

to do Your will

with a perfect heart.

For we know Adonoy, our God

that rulership is Yours,

strength is in Your hand,

might is in Your right hand

and Your Name is awesome

over all You have created.

And so,

grant honor, Adonoy, to Your people,

praise to those who fear You,

good hope to those who seek You

confident speech

to those who yearn for You,

joy to Your land, gladness to Your city,

flourishing of pride to Dovid, Your servant

and an array of light

to the son of Yishai, Your anointed,

speedily in our days.

And then

the righteous will see [this] and rejoice,

and the upright will be jubilant,

and the pious will exult with joyous song;

injustice will close its mouth,

and all the wickedness will vanish like smoke,

when You remove the rule of evil

from the earth.

And all shall come to serve You

and bless Your glorious Name,

and throughout the isles they shall declare

Your righteousness.

And peoples will seek You,

who knew You not before;

and they will praise You,

those who live in every part of the earth,

and they will say, always,

“Magnified be Adonoy.”

And they will offer to You their sacrifices,

and they will abandon their idols,

and they will be humiliated

with their graven images,

and they will turn with unanimous accord

to worship You.

And they will fear You—

as long as sun is upon them—

those who seek Your Presence,

and they will realize

the power of Your Kingship,

and they will teach—

those who have gone astray—

understanding [of God].

And they will speak of Your might,

and they will uplift You

causing You to be uplifted above all,

and they will fervently beseech Your Presence

and crown You with a crown of glory.

And the mountains will burst out

in joyous song,

and the isles will exult in Your Kingship,

and they will accept

the yoke of Your kingdom,

and they will exalt You

in the assembly of peoples.

Those from far-off lands will hear of this

and they will come,

and they will tender unto You

the crown of sovereignty.

And You Adonoy will reign alone

over all Your works

on Mount Tziyon,

dwelling place of Your glory,

and in Yerushalayim, city of Your Sanctuary,

as it is written in Your holy words,

“Adonoy will reign forever;

Your God, Tziyon,

throughout all generations.

Praise God.”

Holy are You, and awesome is Your Name,

and there is no God beside You,

as it is written,

“And Adonoy Tzevaos is exalted

through justice

and the Almighty, the Holy One,

is sanctified through righteousness.”

Blessed are You, Adonoy,

the King, the Holy One.

SANCTIFICATION OF THE DAY

You chose us from [among] all the peoples;

You loved us and took pleasure in us;

You exalted us above all tongues,

and You sanctified us

with Your commandments;

You drew us near, our King,

to Your servitude

and Your great and Holy Name,

You have pronounced upon us.

And You gave us Adonoy, our God,

in love,

(this Shabbos Day and)

this Day of Atonement,

for forgiveness, pardon and atonement,

and to forgive thereon

all our iniquities;

(with love)

a day of holy assembly

commemorating the exodus from Mitzrayim.

But because of our sins,

we were exiled from our land,

and driven far away from our soil;

and we are unable,

and to perform our obligatory offerings

in Your chosen House,

in the great and holy House

upon which Your Name is proclaimed,

because of the hand [of violence]

that was sent against Your Sanctuary.

May it be Your will

Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers,

merciful King,

to once again have compassion on us

and on Your Sanctuary

in Your abundant mercy;

and rebuild it soon

and greatly enhance its glory.

Our Father, our King!

reveal the glory of Your Kingship

upon us soon,

appear and be uplifted over us

before the eyes of all living things.

Bring near our scattered [people]

from among the nations,

and gather our dispersed

from the ends of the earth.

Bring us to Tziyon, Your city,

with joyous song,—

to Yerushalayim, House of Your Sanctuary,

with everlasting joy.

And there we will offer before You

our obligatory sacrifices—

the daily [burnt] offerings in their order,

and the Musaf offerings

according to their rule.

And the Musaf offering of

(and the Musaf offerings

of this Shabbos day and)

this Day of Atonement,

we will prepare and bring before You

with love

according to the command of Your will;

as You wrote for us in Your Torah,

through the hands of Moshe, Your servant,

from the mouth of Your glory,

as it is said:

(“And on the Sabbath day [the offering is]:

two male yearling lambs without blemish;

two tenths [of an epha] of fine flour

for a meal offering,

mixed with the [olive] oil, and its libation.”

[This is] the burnt offering for every Sabbath,

in addition to the daily burnt offering

and its libation; [wine offering].)

And on the tenth [day],

of this seventh month,

a day of holy assembly it shall be for you

and you shall fast;

all manner of work, you shall not do;

And you shall present

a burnt-offering to Adonoy

for a pleasing savour—

one young bullock, one ram,

seven male yearling lambs

without blemish, they shall be for you.

And their meal-offerings and libations

as stated:

three tenths [of an epha of fine flour]

for the bullock,

two tenths for the ram,

and one tenth for each lamb,

and wine according to each libation;

and two he goats for atonement,

and the two daily burnt-offerings

according to their law.

(They will rejoice in Your Kingship—

those who preserve the Sabbath—

and call it a delight.

The people who sanctify the seventh [day]

will all be satisfied

and delighted with Your goodness.

And the seventh [day]—

You took pleasure in it,

and You hallowed it.

“Most desirable of days,” You called it—

a commemoration of the work of creation.)

It is our obligation to praise

the Master of all,

to ascribe greatness

to the Creator of [the world in] the beginning:

that He has not made us

like the nations of the lands,

and has not positioned us

like the families of the earth;

that He has not assigned

our portion like theirs,

nor our lot like that of all their multitudes.

For they prostrate themselves

to vanity and nothingness,

and pray to a god that cannot deliver.

But we bow, prostrate ourselves,

and offer thanks

before the Supreme King of kings,

the Holy One blessed is He,

Who spreads the heavens,

and establishes the earth,

and the seat of His glory

is in the heaven above,

and the abode of His invincible might

is in the loftier heights.

He is our God, there is nothing else.

Our King is true, all else is insignificant,

as it is written in His Torah:

“And You shall know this day

and take into your heart

that Adonoy is God

in the heavens above

and upon the earth below;

there is nothing else.”

Our God and God of our fathers,

be with the mouths of those

who have been sent by Your people

the House of Yisrael,

who stand to offer fervent prayer

and supplication before You,

on behalf of Your people, the House of Yisrael.

Instruct them what to say,

teach them what they shall speak,

disclose to them what they shall ask,

make known to them

how they may glorify You.

May they walk in the light of Your countenance

[their] knee, unto You may they bend,

Your people,

with their mouths, may they bless,

and from the blessings of Your mouth,

may they all be blessed.

Your people, they lead into Your Presence,

and from their midst, they approach You;

the eyes of Your people are fixed on them,

and their eyes look longingly to You.

They approach the Holy Ark in awe,

to appease anger and wrath;

and Your people surround them like a wall,

and You, from the heavens

look upon them with compassion.

They lift their eyes to You in heaven,

their hearts are poured out before You

as water,

and You, [please] hear [their prayer]

from the heavens.

May they not stammer with their tongue,

nor become entangled in their speech,

may they not be ashamed

of those who rely on them,

and may they not bring disgrace

to their multitude [their congregation];

and may their mouths never say a word

that is not according to Your will.

For those

to whom You are favorably disposed,

Adonoy, our God,

they have truly found favor,

and those upon whom You have compassion,

they have truly found compassion.

For we know, Adonoy, our God,

that You will show favor

to whom You will show favor,

and that You will be compassionate

to whom You will be compassionate.

As it is written in Your Torah:

And He said: “I will cause to pass over

all My goodness before you,

and I will proclaim the Name, Adonoy

in your presence;

“I will show favor

to whom I show favor,

and I will be compassionate

to whom I will be compassionate.”

And it is said:

“Let them not be ashamed through me

those who wait for You,

my Master, God of Hosts;

let them not be disgraced through me,

those who seek You, God of Yisrael.”

I hope in Almighty, I implore His Presence,

I ask of Him

to grant me eloquent speech,

so that in the congregation of the people,

I might sing of His might

and utter joyful songs

praising His deeds.

The arrangements of thoughts belong to man,

but [only] from God, comes eloquent speech.

My Master, open my lips

and my mouth will declare Your praise.

May the words of my mouth be acceptable

and the thoughts of my heart — before You

Adonoy, my Rock and my Redeemer.
