Liturgy for Jeremiah 10:7
מִ֣י לֹ֤א יִֽרָאֲךָ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם כִּ֥י לְךָ֖ יָאָ֑תָה כִּ֣י בְכָל־חַכְמֵ֧י הַגּוֹיִ֛ם וּבְכָל־מַלְכוּתָ֖ם מֵאֵ֥ין כָּמֽוֹךָ׃
Who would not fear Thee, O king of the nations? For it befitteth Thee; Forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royalty, There is none like unto Thee.

Praise God! [Only] for Him is kingship truly fitting.42Yirmiyahu 10:7. It cannot be said however that any of the kings on this earth actually deserve their distinction.—Radak He dwells eternally, [also] with the contrite.43Yeshaya 57:15. Rabbi Yochanan said, “Wherever you find the greatness of Hashem, there you will find His humility.” He pushes man to the crushing point, and says to him, ‘return with a humble spirit.'44Tehillim 90:3. Hashem permits the sinner to return in penitence even till the very last moment of his life.—Iyun Tefiloh Therefore will He be exalted, for the kingship is Adonoy's.
