Quotation_auto_tanakh zu Schemot 15:78

There is none like You among the gods, Adonai, and nothing like Your works. Your kingship is a kingship of all worlds, and Your reign is with generation upon generation. The Eternal rules. The Eternal has ruled. The Eternal will rule forever and ever. The Eternal will give strength to the Eternal's people. The Eternal will bless the Eternal's people with peace.

In Temple times Shiras Hayam, the Song of the Sea, was sung by the Levites when the daily afternoon sacrifice was offered.¹Maseches Rosh Hashanah 31a, mentions that the Ode was sung at Minchah on Shabbos. After the destruction, the Jews of the Holy Land continued the tradition, reciting the Shira at the end of the Pesukei Dezimrah. The custom spread to Italy and from there to other Jewish communities. This daily recital is mentioned by Rav Saadya Gaon but not as an obligatory part of the service. Rambam calls it a “custom.”²Hilchos Tefillah 7:13. Subsequently adopted by all communities, reciting the Shira became an integral part of our daily prayers. Some hold that the Shira should be chanted aloud while standing. It should be sung with joy as at the time of the Exodus. “Sheloh” writes that reciting the Shira atones for sin, so that if one wishes to repent a serious sin, he should recite the Shira every day with great fervor. The Zohar says, “If one recites this song with elation and joy, he will be worthy to sing it in the next world. He will also be worthy to sing it when he greets the Messiah.”

Unto you it was made perceptible so that you might know that Adonoy is God, there is nothing else aside from Him.¹Deuteronomy 4:35. There is none like You among gods, my master, and nothing like Your works.²Psalms 86:8. Your kingship is the kingship for all worlds and Your dominion is in every generation.³Psalms 145:13. Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King, Adonoy will be King forever and ever. Adonoy will give strength to His people Adonoy will bless His people with peace.⁴Psalms 29:11.

The glory of Adonoy will endure forever; Adonoy will rejoice in His works.¹Psalms 104:31. The Name of Adonoy will be blessed from now forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting, praised is the Name of Adonoy. High above all nations is Adonoy, above the heavens is His glory.²Psalms 113:4. Adonoy, Your Name³God’s “Name” is the name spelled Yud-Hey-Vuv-Hey. is forever, Adonoy, Your Mention⁴God’s “mention” is the name spelled Alef-Daled-Nun-Yud. In this world God’s name is only written as Y-H-V-H but is pronouced Adonoy. In the future world, however, God’s Name will be pronounced as it is written. Thus the Psalmist means: “Your Name is eternal, but Your mention is solely from generation to generation.—Siach Yitzchok is for generations.⁵Psalms 135:13. Adonoy has established His throne in heaven, [but] His dominion rules over all.⁶Psalms 103:19. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult, and they will proclaim among the nations: Adonoy has begun His reign.⁷I Chronicles 16:31. Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King; Adonoy will be King forever and ever.” Adonoy will reign for all eternity [when] nations have perished from His earth.⁸Psalms 10:16. Adonoy annuls the counsel of nations, He disrupts the intention of peoples.⁹Psalms 33:10. Many thoughts are in the heart of man, but [only] Adonoy’s counsel will endure.¹⁰Proverbs 19:21. The counsel of Adonoy will stand forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.¹¹Psalms 33:11. For He spoke and it came to be; He commanded and it stood.¹²Psalms 33:9. For Adonoy has chosen Zion; He desired it for His dwelling place.¹³Psalms 132:13. For God chose Jacob to be His, Israel for His treasure.¹⁴Psalms 135:4. For Adonoy will not cast off His people, and His inheritance, He will not abandon.¹⁵Psalms 94:13. And He, the Merciful One, atones iniquity; and does not destroy. He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage.¹⁶Psalms 78:38. Adonoy, deliver [us!] The King will answer us on the day we call.¹⁷Psalms 20:10.

Then Moses and the Children of Israel sang this song to Adonoy, and they said: I will sing to Adonoy for He is most high;⁵When people praise a mortal, they often declare undeserved praise. But God is so great that any praise we offer is insufficient.—Rashi the horse with its rider, He threw into the sea. The strength and retribution of God was the cause of my deliverance;⁶This translation follows Rashi’s commentary. this is my Almighty and I will glorify Him, God of my father and I will exalt Him. Adonoy is master of war Adonoy is His Name. Pharaoh’s chariots and army, He hurled into the sea; and his elite officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deep waters covered them; they descended into the depths like stone. Your right hand Adonoy is adorned with power, Your right hand Adonoy crushes the enemy. And in Your great majesty, You destroyed Your opponents; You sent forth Your fury, it consumed them like straw.⁷This verse is also translated, “You will send forth Your fury: it will consume them like straw.” According to the Zohar, it thus refers to the time of the Resurrection, when God will destroy all the wicked. And with the wind from Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, flowing water stood erect like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.⁸The water became hard as stone and the Egyptians were hurled against it with great force.—Rash i The enemy (Pharaoh) said: I will pursue [them], I will overtake [them], I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy myself; I will unsheathe my sword, my hand will destroy them. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.⁹Seporno and others interpret the verse to read: “They, the mighty, sank like lead in the waters,” “mighty,” referring to the Egyptian officers rather than to the waters. Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders.¹⁰God is “awesome in praise” for we fear that all our praise will prove inadequate. In truth, it is impossible to praise God fully, and David therefore said (Psalms 65:2) “For You, silence is praise.”—Rashi You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. You led in Your kindliness, the people whom You redeemed; You guided them with Your might to Your holy dwelling place. The peoples heard and trembled, pangs of fear gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.¹¹The Philistines had killed the Ephraimites thirty years earlier when they left Egypt by force. The Philistines were thus gripped with terror when they heard that Israel had escaped from Egypt.—Rashi Then the chieftains of Edom panicked, the mighty men of Moab were seized with trembling, all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.¹²Nations on all sides panicked: The Philistines to the west, the Edomites to the south, the Moabites to the east and the Canaanites to the north. The Philistines feared revenge. The Edomites panicked because they feared that Israel would now seek revenge for what Esau (Edom) had done to Jacob. The Moabites, the descendants of Lot, feared they would be punished because of the dispute between Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13:7). Canaan “melted away” because they realized that Israel was destined to take their land, and their astrologers told them that there was no way out.—Rabbeinu Bachya Terror and dread fall upon them; at the greatness of Your arm they were still as stone; until Your people cross over, Adonoy, until [they] cross over,¹³The two crossings are the respective crossings of the Arnon and the Jordan rivers before entering the Promised Land.—Onkelos —the people You have acquired. You will bring them and plant them¹⁴Moses here prophesied that he would not be entering the Promised Land, and he therefore prayed that God should bring the Jews into His inheritance.— Rashi on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place for Your habitation which You, Adonoy, have made; the Sanctuary, my Master, [which] Your hands established.¹⁵God’s “habitat” on earth, the Holy Temple, is a parallel of the Holy Temple on high.—Rashi Adonoy will reign forever and ever.¹⁶This verse is not repeated in Exodus. But it is repeated in prayer to signify the end of the Ode, just as the last verse of Psalms 150 is repeated in the prayer whereas it is not repeated in the Book of Psalms.—Avudraham Adonoy will reign forever and ever. Adonoy! His sovereignty is established forever and to all eternity.¹⁷This verse is a paraphrase of the previous verse as found in Targum Onkelos. When Pharaoh’s horses, with his chariots, and his horsemen, went into the sea, Adonoy turned back on them the waters of the sea; and the Children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.¹⁸Exodus 14:30-15:19. For the kingship is Adonoy’s and He rules over nations.¹⁹Psalms 22:29. The word “king” signifies one whose leadership is accepted freely by all his subjects. Therefore, in reference to Israel who willingly accept the Kingship of God, it says, “For the kingship is Adonoy’s.” A “ruler,” however, is one who forcibly rules people, without their consent. Regarding the nations who do not willingly submit to Adonoy’s Kingship, the Psalmist says, “And He rules over nations.”—Vilna Gaon And deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau, and the kingdom will be Adonoy’s.²⁰Ovadyah 1:21. And Adonoy will be King over the whole earth; on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.²¹Zecharyah 14:9. In the future, God will be recognized by all the nations of the world who will accept Him willingly as their King.

May our eyes behold, our heart rejoice, and our soul exalt in Your true deliverance, when it will be said to Zion: “Your God has begun His reign.” “Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King Adonoy will reign for ever and ever” For the kingdom is Yours and to all eternity, You will reign in glory; for we have no king except You. Blessed are You, the King in His glory, will always reign over us forever and ever, and over all His creation.

Therefor, we will hope to You L·rd, our G·d to see speedily the glory of Your Might - to remove abominable idolatry from the earth & the false gods be utterly terminated, to repair the world with the Kingship of the Al·mighty.

They will recognize & will know, all the inhabitants of the earth, that to You that every knee shall bow down, & every tongue. Before you they will kneel & bow down & give honor to Your glorious name & they will all accept the yolk of Your Kingship. And Reign upon them speedily forever & ever. For the Kingship, it is Yours. And forevermore reign in glory. Like it is written in your Torah, “The L·rd will reign forever & ever.” And it is said “and it will be the L·rd will Be King upon all of the earth.

Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! Who is like You— [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders!

Recite three times: Let fall upon them terror and dread at the greatness of Your arm let them be still as stone.

Recite three times: As a stone, let them be still by [virtue of] Your arm’s greatness; and may dread and terror upon them fall.

and [we have] Faith in all this – and it is established for us, for He is the L·rd Our G-d & there is none other than Him – and we are Yisrael, His people. [He is] The One Who redeems us from the hand of kings, Our King, Who Delivers us from from the hands of all tyrants, the G-d that avenges for us those that cause us pain, the One that will pay back all that was bestowed upon us to all the enemies of our souls, the One Who keeps our souls alive, and did not allow our feet to stumble, the One Who guides us upon the altars of our enemies. And who raises our countenance [horn] upon all our foes, the G-d that takes vengeance upon Pharaoh, with signs and wonders – in the land of the people of H'am, the One that Strikes with His wrath all the first-born of Egypt, & He Brings out His people, Yisrael from among them to eternal freedom. Who causes His children to pass between the splittings of the Sea of Reeds, & their pursuers & their foes He drowned in the depths. His children observed His might – & gave praise & lauded Him for His Name's sake – & His Kingship, they willingly, accepted upon themselves. Moshe / Moses & the Children of Yisrael answered with Song & great joy, & they all said “Who is like You among the mighty, L·rd. Who is like You supreme in holiness, [too] awesome [for] praises - Who does wonders. Your Kingship, L·rd, our G-d Your Children saw by the Sea, united all of them gave thanks and accepted Your Kingship and said “The L·rd will reign, forever more.” And it is said “For the L·rd redeemed Yaakov / Jacob & he saved him from the hand of one stronger than he.” (Jeremiah 31:10) Blessed are You L·rd, who redeems Yisrael.

“And a wind lifted me and I heard behind me a sound of a great rushing of those who uttered praises and said, “Blessed is the glory of Adonoy from the place, the abode of His Divine Presence.” Adonoy will reign forever and ever. Adonoy, His kingdom is established forever and to all eternity. Adonoy, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever as the intention of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts to You. And He, the merciful One, atons iniquity and does ot destroy; He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage. For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You. Your righteousness is everlasting and Your Torah is truth. You will grant truth to Jacob kindliness to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old. Blessed is my Master day by day; He loads us, the Almighty Who is our deliverance, forever. Adonoy of Hosts is with us a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob, selah. Adonoy of Hosts, fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver [us]; the King will answer us on the day we call. Blessed is He, our God, Who created us for His glory, and set us apart from those who go astray; and gave us the Torah of truth, and eternal life He implanted within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and awe of Him, to do His will and serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not labor in vain nor bring forth that which causes dismay. May it be Your will, Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, that we keep Your statutes in this world, and [thus] be privileged to live and behold, and to inherit the goodness and blessing of the Messianic days and in the life of the World to Come. In order that my soul sing to You and not be stilled; Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You. Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonoy, so that Adonoy is his security. Trust in Adonoy until the end of days, for in God, Adonoy, is the strength of the worlds. Those who know your Name will trust in You, for You have never forsaken those who seek You, Adonoy. Adonoy desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and to glorify it.

May our eyes behold, may our heart rejoice and our soul exalt in Your true deliverance, when it will be said to Zion: Your God has begun His reign Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King, Adonoy will reign forever and ever For the Kingdom is Yours and to all eternity, You will reign in glory, for we have no king except You.

The glory of Adonoy will endure forever; Adonoy will rejoice in His works.¹Psalms 104:31. The Name of Adonoy will be blessed from now forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting, praised is the Name of Adonoy. High above all nations is Adonoy, above the heavens is His glory.²Psalms 113:4. Adonoy, Your Name³God's “Name” is the name spelled Yud-Hey-Vuv-Hey. is forever, Adonoy, Your Mention⁴God's “mention” is the name spelled Alef-Daled-Nun-Yud. In this world God's name is only written as Y-H-V-H but is pronouced Adonoy. In the future world, however, God's Name will be pronounced as it is written. Thus the Psalmist means: “Your Name is eternal, but Your mention is solely from generation to generation.—Siach Yitzchok is for generations.⁵Psalms 135:13. Adonoy has established His throne in heaven, [but] His dominion rules over all.⁶Psalms 103:19. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult, and they will proclaim among the nations: Adonoy has begun His reign.⁷I Chronicles 16:31. Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King; Adonoy will be King forever and ever." Adonoy will reign for all eternity [when] nations have perished from His earth.⁸Psalms 10:16. Adonoy annuls the counsel of nations, He disrupts the intention of peoples.⁹Psalms 33:10. Many thoughts are in the heart of man, but [only] Adonoy's counsel will endure.¹⁰Proverbs 19:21. The counsel of Adonoy will stand forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.¹¹Psalms 33:11. For He spoke and it came to be; He commanded and it stood.¹²Psalms 33:9. For Adonoy has chosen Zion; He desired it for His dwelling place.¹³Psalms 132:13. For God chose Jacob to be His, Israel for His treasure.¹⁴Psalms 135:4. For Adonoy will not cast off His people, and His inheritance, He will not abandon.¹⁵Psalms 94:13. And He, the Merciful One, atones iniquity; and does not destroy. He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage.¹⁶Psalms 78:38. Adonoy, deliver [us!] The King will answer us on the day we call.¹⁷Psalms 20:10.

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.”

Praises to the lofty God – their Redeemer. Bless is He and [He is] the causer of blessing. Moses and the children of Israel – to You they answer in song with great exultation and they all say: Who is like You among the [false] gods [people worship] L·rd. Who is like You – Mighty in Holiness. Awesome. Praises that do wonders. A new song – those redeemed [by You] - to Your great name – on the banks of the sea. Together they acknowledged and acceped [Your] Kingship and said : The L·rd shall reign as King forever and ever. And it is said: Our Redeemer, L·rd of Hosts is His name – the Holy One of [the people of] Israel. Blessed are you L·rd who redeemed [the people of] Yisrael.

May our eyes behold, our heart rejoice, and our soul exalt in Your true deliverance, when it will be said to Zion: “Your God has begun His reign.” “Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King Adonoy will reign for ever and ever” For the kingdom is Yours and to all eternity, You will reign in glory; for we have no king except You. Blessed are You, the King in His glory, will always reign over us forever and ever, and over all His creation.

“Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! Who is like You— [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders!”

“Adonoy will reign forever and ever.”

Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! Who is like You— [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders!

Adonoy will reign forever and ever.

Then Moses and the Children of Israel sang this song to Adonoy, and they said: I will sing to Adonoy for He is most high;⁵When people praise a mortal, they often declare undeserved praise. But God is so great that any praise we offer is insufficient.—Rashi the horse with its rider, He threw into the sea. The strength and retribution of God was the cause of my deliverance;⁶This translation follows Rashi's commentary. this is my Almighty and I will glorify Him, God of my father and I will exalt Him. Adonoy is master of war Adonoy is His Name. Pharaoh's chariots and army, He hurled into the sea; and his elite officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deep waters covered them; they descended into the depths like stone. Your right hand Adonoy is adorned with power, Your right hand Adonoy crushes the enemy. And in Your great majesty, You destroyed Your opponents; You sent forth Your fury, it consumed them like straw.⁷This verse is also translated, “You will send forth Your fury: it will consume them like straw.” According to the Zohar, it thus refers to the time of the Resurrection, when God will destroy all the wicked. And with the wind from Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, flowing water stood erect like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.⁸The water became hard as stone and the Egyptians were hurled against it with great force.—Rash i The enemy (Pharaoh) said: I will pursue [them], I will overtake [them], I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy myself; I will unsheathe my sword, my hand will destroy them. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.⁹Seporno and others interpret the verse to read: “They, the mighty, sank like lead in the waters,” “mighty,” referring to the Egyptian officers rather than to the waters. Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders.¹⁰God is “awesome in praise” for we fear that all our praise will prove inadequate. In truth, it is impossible to praise God fully, and David therefore said (Psalms 65:2) “For You, silence is praise.”—Rashi You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. You led in Your kindliness, the people whom You redeemed; You guided them with Your might to Your holy dwelling place. The peoples heard and trembled, pangs of fear gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.¹¹The Philistines had killed the Ephraimites thirty years earlier when they left Egypt by force. The Philistines were thus gripped with terror when they heard that Israel had escaped from Egypt.—Rashi Then the chieftains of Edom panicked, the mighty men of Moab were seized with trembling, all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.¹²Nations on all sides panicked: The Philistines to the west, the Edomites to the south, the Moabites to the east and the Canaanites to the north. The Philistines feared revenge. The Edomites panicked because they feared that Israel would now seek revenge for what Esau (Edom) had done to Jacob. The Moabites, the descendants of Lot, feared they would be punished because of the dispute between Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13:7). Canaan “melted away” because they realized that Israel was destined to take their land, and their astrologers told them that there was no way out.—Rabbeinu Bachya Terror and dread fall upon them; at the greatness of Your arm they were still as stone; until Your people cross over, Adonoy, until [they] cross over,¹³The two crossings are the respective crossings of the Arnon and the Jordan rivers before entering the Promised Land.—Onkelos —the people You have acquired. You will bring them and plant them¹⁴Moses here prophesied that he would not be entering the Promised Land, and he therefore prayed that God should bring the Jews into His inheritance.— Rashi on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place for Your habitation which You, Adonoy, have made; the Sanctuary, my Master, [which] Your hands established.¹⁵God's “habitat” on earth, the Holy Temple, is a parallel of the Holy Temple on high.—Rashi Adonoy will reign forever and ever.¹⁶This verse is not repeated in Exodus. But it is repeated in prayer to signify the end of the Ode, just as the last verse of Psalms 150 is repeated in the prayer whereas it is not repeated in the Book of Psalms.—Avudraham Adonoy will reign forever and ever. Adonoy! His sovereignty is established forever and to all eternity.¹⁷This verse is a paraphrase of the previous verse as found in Targum Onkelos. When Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots, and his horsemen, went into the sea, Adonoy turned back on them the waters of the sea; and the Children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.¹⁸Exodus 14:30-15:19. For the kingship is Adonoy's and He rules over nations.¹⁹Psalms 22:29. The word “king” signifies one whose leadership is accepted freely by all his subjects. Therefore, in reference to Israel who willingly accept the Kingship of God, it says, “For the kingship is Adonoy's.” A “ruler,” however, is one who forcibly rules people, without their consent. Regarding the nations who do not willingly submit to Adonoy's Kingship, the Psalmist says, “And He rules over nations.”—Vilna Gaon And deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau, and the kingdom will be Adonoy's.²⁰Ovadyah 1:21. And Adonoy will be King over the whole earth; on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.²¹Zecharyah 14:9. In the future, God will be recognized by all the nations of the world who will accept Him willingly as their King.

The glory of Adonoy will endure forever; Adonoy will rejoice in His works.¹²Psalms 104:31. The Name of Adonoy will be blessed from now forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting, praised is the Name of Adonoy. High above all nations is Adonoy, above the heavens is His glory.¹³Psalms 113:24. Adonoy, Your Name¹⁴God’s “Name” is the name spelled Yud-Hey-Vuv-Hey. is forever, Adonoy, Your Mention15 is for generations.¹⁶Psalms 135:13. Adonoy has established His throne in heaven, [but] His dominion rules over all.¹⁷Psalms 103:19. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult, and they will proclaim among the nations: “Adonoy has begun His reign.¹⁸I Chronicles 16:31. Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King; Adonoy will be King forever and ever.” Adonoy will reign for all eternity [when] nations have perished from His earth.¹⁹Psalms 10:16. Adonoy annuls the counsel of nations, He disrupts the intention of peoples.²⁰Psalms 33:10. Many thoughts are in the heart of man, but [only] Adonoy's counsel will endure.²¹Proverbs 19:21. The counsel of Adonoy will stand forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.²²Psalms 33:11. For He spoke and it came to be; He commanded and it stood.²³Psalms 33:9. For Adonoy has chosen Zion; He desired it for His dwelling place.²⁴Psalms 132:13. For God chose Jacob to be His, Israel for His treasure.²⁵Psalms 135:4. For Adonoy will not cast off His people, and His inheritance, He will not abandon.²⁶Psalms 94:13. And He, the Merciful One, atones iniquity; and does not destroy. He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage.²⁷Psalms 78:38. Adonoy, deliver [us!] The King will answer us on the day we call.²⁸Psalms 20:10.

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.”
