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 heaven above,

and the abode of His invincible might

is in the loftiest 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.”

We therefore put our hope in You,

Adonoy our God,

to soon behold the glory of Your might

in banishing idolatry from the earth,

and the false gods will be utterly exterminated

to perfect the world

as the kingdom of Shadai.

And all mankind will invoke Your Name,

to turn back to You,

all the wicked of the earth.

They will realize and know,

all the inhabitants of the world,

that to You, every knee must bend,

every tongue must swear [allegiance to You].

Before You, Adonoy, our God,

they will bow and prostrate themselves,

and to the glory of Your Name give honor.

And they will all accept [upon themselves]

the yoke of Your kingdom,

and You will reign over them, soon,

forever and ever.

For the kingdom is Yours,

and to all eternity You will reign in glory,

as it is written in Your Torah:

“Adonoy will reign forever and ever.”

And it is said:

“And Adonoy will be King

over the whole earth;

on that day Adonoy will be One

and His Name One.”

Do not fear sudden terror

nor the destruction of the wicked

when it comes.

Take counsel together and it will be foiled

speak the word and it will not stand

for God is with us.

To your old age I am [with you],

to your older years I will sustain you,

I have made you, and I will carry you,

I will sustain you and save you.

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name

in the world which He created

according to His will

and may He rule His kingdom

bring forth His redemption

and hasten the coming of His Mashiach

in your lifetime and in your days,

and in the lifetime

of the entire House of Israel,

speedily and in the near future—

and say Amein.

May His great Name be blessed

forever and for all eternity.

Blessed and praised,

glorified, and exalted and uplifted,

honored and elevated and extolled

be the Name of the Holy One, blessed is He;

above (Ten Days of Penitence: far above)

all the blessings and hymns,

praises and consolations

which we utter in the world—and say Amein.

May there be abundant peace from heaven

and good life

for us and for all Israel,

—and say Amein.

He Who makes peace

(Ten Days of Penitence: the peace)

in His high heavens

may He, make peace

for us and for all Israel,

and say, Amen.

By David:

Adonoy is my light and my salvation,

whom shall I fear?

Adonoy is the strength of my life,

of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers approach me

to devour my flesh—

my tormentors and my foes

they stumble and fall.

If an army should encamp against me,

my heart would not fear;

if war were to rise against me,

in this I trust.

One thing I request of Adonoy,

[only] that shall I seek,

that I may dwell in the House of Adonoy

all the days of my life,

to behold the pleasantness of Adonoy,

and to meditate in His Sanctuary.

For He will hide me in His Tabernacle

on the day of distress,

He will conceal me in the shelter of His Tent,

upon a rock He will lift me.

And now my head is raised high

above my enemies around me;

and I will offer in His Tent,

sacrifices accompanied by trumpets of joy;

I will sing and chant to Adonoy.

Adonoy, hear my voice when I call;

be gracious to me and answer me.

Of You, my heart has said,

“Seek My Presence”;

Your Presence, Adonoy I will seek.

Conceal not Your Presence from me,

do not turn away Your servant in anger.

You have been my help;

neither cast me off nor abandon me,

God of my deliverance.

When my father and mother abandon me,

Adonoy will gather me up.

Adonoy, teach me Your way,

and lead me in the path of uprightness,

because of my watchers.

Do not deliver me

to the will of my tormentors,

for false witnesses have risen against me,

who breathe violence.

Had I not believed that I would see

the goodness of Adonoy

in the land of living.

Hope to Adonoy,

be strong and He will give you courage;

and hope to Adonoy.
