יְהִ֨י יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ בָּר֔וּךְ אֲשֶׁר֙ חָפֵ֣ץ בְּךָ֔ לְתִתְּךָ֖ עַל־כִּסֵּ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּאַהֲבַ֨ת יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְעֹלָ֔ם וַיְשִֽׂימְךָ֣ לְמֶ֔לֶךְ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וּצְדָקָֽה׃
Es sei der Herr, dein Gott, gepriesen, der an dir Wohlgefallen gehabt, dich auf den Thron Israels zu setzen. Weil der Herr Israel für ewig liebt, hat er dich als König eingesetzt zu üben Recht und Wohltat.
Shemot Rabbah
Another matter, “Yitro…heard,” that is what is written: “Lord, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge on the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth” (Jeremiah 16:19). Israel said to the Holy One blessed be He: ‘When You performed miracles on our behalf at the sea, we said to You: “The Lord is my strength [uzi] and song” (Exodus 15:2). Did Raḥav not hear and adhere to You? As it is stated: “She said to the men: I know that the Lord has given you the land…as we heard that the Lord dried the waters of the Red Sea”’ (Joshua 2:9–10). That is, “Lord, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge on the day of trouble.” ‘When You performed miracles in the days of Solomon, as it is stated: “He will give strength [oz] to His king” (I Samuel 2:10), did the Queen of Sheba not come and praise You? As it is stated: “The Queen of Sheba heard Solomon’s reputation” (I Kings 10:1). What did she say? “May the Lord your God be blessed, Who has chosen you” (I Kings 10:9). When You took us out of Egypt and gave us the Torah, which is called oz, as it is stated: “He will give strength [oz] to His people (Psalms 29:11), did Yitro not hear, come, and adhere to You?’ That is, “to You nations will come from the ends of the earth.”
