The soul of all that lives shall bless Your name, LORD our God, and the spirit of all flesh shall always glorify and exalt Your remembrance, our King. From eternity to eternity You are God. Without You, we have no King, Redeemer or Savior, who liberates, rescues, sustains and shows compassion in every time of trouble and distress. We have no King but You, God of the first and last, God of all creatures, Master of all ages, extolled by a multitude of praises, who guides His world with loving-kindness and His creatures with compassion. The LORD neither slumbers nor sleeps. He rouses the sleepers and wakens the slumberers. He makes the dumb speak, sets the bound free, supports the fallen, and raises those bowed down. To You alone we give thanks: If our mouths were as full of song as the sea, and our tongue with jubilation as its myriad waves, if our lips were full of praise like the spacious heavens, and our eyes shone like the sun and moon, if our hands were outstretched like eagles of the sky, and our feet as swift as hinds – still we could not thank You enough, LORD our God and God of our ancestors, or bless Your name for even one of the thousand thousands and myriad myriads of favors You did for our ancestors and for us. You redeemed us from Egypt, LORD our God, and freed us from the house of bondage. In famine You nourished us; in times of plenty You sustained us. You delivered us from the sword, saved us from the plague, and spared us from serious and lasting illness. Until now Your mercies have helped us. Your love has not forsaken us. May You, LORD our God, never abandon us. Therefore the limbs You formed within us, the spirit and soul You breathed into our nostrils, and the tongue You placed in our mouth – they will thank and bless, praise and glorify, exalt and esteem, hallow and do homage to Your name, O our King. For every mouth shall give thanks to You, every tongue vow allegiance to You, every knee shall bend to You, every upright body shall bow to You, all hearts shall fear You, and our innermost being sing praises to Your name, as is written:

“All my bones shall say: LORD, who is like You? You save the poor from one stronger than him, the poor and needy from one who would rob him.”

Who is like You? Who is equal to You? Who can be compared to You? O great, mighty and awesome God, God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth. We will laud, praise and glorify You and bless Your holy name, as it is said:

“Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.”

הָאֵל God – in Your absolute power, Great – in the glory of Your name, Mighty – for ever, Awesome – in Your awe-inspiring deeds,
