Siddur Ashkenaz
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.1Deuteronomy 4:39.

The soul of every living thing shall bless Your Name, Adonoy, our God; and the spirit of all flesh shall glorify and exalt Your mention, our King, continually. From world to world,108 108 See note 1 on תפילה למשה , page 000. You are Almighty; and besides You we have no king, redeemer, or deliverer, [who] liberates, rescues, maintains and responds, and is compassionate in all times of trouble and distress. We have no king, helper, supporter but You. God of the first and last [generations], God of all created things, Master of all begotten things,109 109 Etz Yosef assumes that תּוֹלָדוֹת refers to events that occur in time. [See Proverbs 27:1, כִּי לֹא תֵדַע מַה יֻלַּד יוֹם , for you don’t know what a day may bring forth.] Thus God is Master of all events. Iyun Tefiloh says that בְּרִיוֹת , created beings, refers to everything God created during the six days of creation, whereas תּוֹלָדוֹת refers to those things that come forth, i.e., were “born” from the original created things. Thus He is God of all created things and Master of all begotten things even though they appear as products of nature. Who is extolled with a multitude of praises, Who conducts His world with kindliness and His creatures with compassion. Behold, Adonoy neither slumbers nor sleeps. arouses those who sleep and awakens those who slumber, Resurrector of the dead, and Healer of the sick, Who gives sight to the blind, and He gives speech to the mute, and releases the imprisoned. He supports those who have fallen and straightens the bent and uncovers that which is concealed. To You alone we give thanks. Even if our mouths were filled with song like the sea,110Just like the sea is filled with water. and our tongues with exultation like the roaring of its waves, and our lips with praise like the breadth of the firmament, and our eyes were radiant like the sun and the moon, and our hands outspread like [the] eagles of the sky, and our feet light as the deer— we would never sufficiently thank You, Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers, and bless Your Name Our King for even one thousandth of the billions and trillions of favors, miracles and wonders which You did for our fathers and for us: from Egypt You redeemed us, Adonoy, our God; from the house of bondage, You liberated us; in famine You nourished us, and in [times of] plenty, You fed us; from the sword You saved us and from pestilence You removed us, and from many severe and lingering sicknesses, have You withdrawn us. Until now Your compassion has helped us and Your kindliness has not forsaken us. Do not abandon us, Adonoy, our God, for eternity. Therefore, the limbs which You apportioned for us, and the spirit and soul that You have breathed into our nostrils, and the tongue You have set in our mouth— behold, they will thank, bless, praise, glorify, sing, exalt, revere, sanctify, and proclaim the sovereignty of Your Name, our King always. For every mouth will thank You, and every tongue will swear allegiance to You, and every eye looks to You, and every knee will bend to You, and all that stand up will prostrate themselves before You; all hearts will fear You, and all innards and kidneys will sing to Your Name as is written, “All my bones will say: Adonoy! who is like unto You?” You save the poor man from one stronger than he, and the poor and needy from one who would rob him,111Psalms 35:10. the cry of the poor You hear, the scream of the impoverished You hear and deliver.

Siddur Sefard
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.”

Siddur Sefard
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.”
