I Chronicles 29:10 Kabbalah: Sha'arei Orah

וַיְבָ֤רֶךְ דָּוִיד֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־הַקָּהָ֑ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֗יד בָּר֨וּךְ אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל אָבִ֔ינוּ מֵעוֹלָ֖ם וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation; and David said: ‘Blessed be Thou, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

Sha'arei Orah

Therefore, contemplate that we begin the Amidah prayers with the opening gateway, which is His title Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, and say,558Psalms 51:17 Lord-Adonai-אדנ"י, open my lips,” and only afterward we say, “Blessed are You-Atah-אתה HaShem-יהו״ה.” Contemplate this well. Likewise, when King David, peace be upon him, arranged the praises of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, as it states,559Chronicles I 29:10 “And David blessed HaShem-יהו״ה in the presence of the entire congregation,” what did he say? “Blessed are You-Atah-אתה HaShem-יהו״ה, God of our forefather Israel, from this world to the coming world. Yours, HaShem-יהו״ה, is the greatness-Gedulah, and the might-Gevurah, and the splendor-Tiferet, and the victory-Netzach and the majesty-Hod.” He then continued and said, “Wealth and honor come from You, and You-Atah-אתה rule over all,” for it certainly is “You-Atah-אתה” who rules over all.
