LORD of the universe, who reigned before the birth of any thing –

When by His will all things were made then was His name proclaimed King.

And when all things shall cease to be He alone will reign in awe.

He was, He is, and He shall be glorious for evermore.

He is One, there is none else, alone, unique, beyond compare;

Without beginning, without end, His might, His rule are everywhere.

He is my God; my Redeemer lives. He is the Rock on whom I rely –

My banner and my safe retreat, my cup, my portion when I cry.

Into His hand my soul I place, when I awake and when I sleep.

The LORD is with me, I shall not fear; body and soul from harm will He keep.

Great is the living God and praised. He exists, and His existence is beyond time.

He is One, and there is no unity like His. Unfathomable, His oneness is infinite.

He has neither bodily form nor substance; His holiness is beyond compare.

He preceded all that was created. He was first: there was no beginning to His beginning.

Behold He is Master of the Universe; and every creature shows His greatness and majesty.

The rich flow of His prophecy He gave to His treasured people in whom He gloried.

Never in Israel has there arisen another like Moses, a prophet who beheld God’s image.

God gave His people a Torah of truth by the hand of His prophet, most faithful of His House.

God will not alter or change His law for any other, for eternity.

He sees and knows our secret thoughts; as soon as something is begun, He foresees its end.

He rewards people with loving-kindness according to their deeds; He punishes the wicked according to his wickedness.

At the end of days He will send our Messiah to redeem those who await His final salvation.

God will revive the dead in His great loving-kindness. Blessed for evermore is His glorious name!
