Liturgy for I Chronicles 29:12

וְהָעֹ֤שֶׁר וְהַכָּבוֹד֙ מִלְּפָנֶ֔יךָ וְאַתָּה֙ מוֹשֵׁ֣ל בַּכֹּ֔ל וּבְיָדְךָ֖ כֹּ֣חַ וּגְבוּרָ֑ה וּבְיָ֣דְךָ֔ לְגַדֵּ֥ל וּלְחַזֵּ֖ק לַכֹּֽל׃

Both riches and honour come of Thee, and Thou rulest over all; and in Thy hand is power and might; and in Thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

Machzor Yom Kippur Ashkenaz

Praise God! Creator and Mover of everything.51Yeshaya 44:24. Hashem Himself created the entire world during the Six Days of Creation, and with His strength, sustains the creation each and every day.—Radak The verse as it appears in Yeshaya uses only the term “עוֹשֶׂה” which the Malbim explains as referring to the actual creation of matter ex nihilo. “פּוֹעֵל” indicates energy and movement. It is within His hand to bestow greatness and strength to all.52I Divrei Hayomim 29:12. He can do this anytime He wishes.—Malbim The eyes of all look expectantly to Him.53Tehillim 145:15. To sustain them and feed them. His eyes watch over all. Therefore will He be exalted, He is above all.
