느헤미야 9:39의 Liturgy

You alone are Adonoy;⁴⁸This is an affirmation of God’s unity: “Adonoy is One.” The next six verses are taken from Nehemiah 9:6-11. They are the last words of praise found in Scripture. You have made the skies, the skies of skies⁴⁹This denotes the highest of the seven heavens. and all their hosts,⁵⁰This signifies the sun, moon, and stars. the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them; and You give life to all of them, and the heavenly hosts⁵¹These are the angelic beings that worship Adonoy. bow before You. You are Adonoy, the God Who chose Avrom, and brought him out of Ur Kasdim and established his name (as) Avrohom.⁵²This was not a mere changing of names. Abraham was elevated and attained new stature as a patriarch by virtue of his new name. And You found his heart faithful before You,⁵³This was demonstrated when he was ready to sacrifice Isaac.

The Stars are saying, “You, only you, are YHVH; You made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host; the earth, and everything that is in it; the seas, and everything that is in them; and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven prostrate themselves to you.”

and You made the covenant with him⁵⁴In some congregations, וכרות is recited responsively on the day of a circumcision. Consequently, some siddurim indicate that a new paragraph begins here. But it is actually a continuation of the verse. to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give to his seed; and You kept Your word, for You are righteous. And You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry You heard at the Sea of Reeds. And You imposed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land, for You knew that they acted malevolently against them;⁵⁵Them, i.e., the Jews in Egypt. and (thus) You have made a name for Yourself, like this day.⁵⁶The miracles and wonders of the Exodus have not and will not be forgotten. Each generation reaffirms its testimony to God’s might against the Egyptians and thus the event remains as vivid and real as though it occurred today. And the sea, You split before them, and they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their pursuers You hurled into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters.⁵⁷Nechemyah 9:6-11

And the Mouse concedes, “You are just for all that comes upon me, for you have acted truthfully, and I have been wicked.”

We have been guilty; we have eaten forbidden foods. We have been unfaithful; we have [neglected] your Torah. We have robbed, we have stolen; we have been proud. We have spoken slander and evil speech, we have spoken one [thing] in [our] mouth and [another] in [our] mind. We have caused others to be iniquitous; we conjured up bad thoughts during the day and came to the impurity of an emission at night. And we have caused others to do evil; we have gathered together for a sinful matter. We have been malicious; we have followed the lusts of our hearts and our eyes. We have extorted; we have coveted; we have desecrated Shabbats and Your holy festivals. We have joined with falsehood and deceit. We have given harmful advice without limit. We have deceived; we have become angry. We have mocked. We have rebelled; we have been insubordinate towards Your words; we have rebelled against the Kingdom of heaven; we have rebelled against the kingdom of the House of David; we have rejected the Temple – and we are requesting the three of them. We have provoked; we have committed adultery; we have vowed but not paid. We have strayed; we have been rebellious and disobedient. We have been iniquitous; we have transgressed positive commandments and negative commandments; we have transgressed against [laws, the punishments for which are] excision and the death penalties of the court; we have transgressed [not to] desecrate [God’s] name. We have sinned rebelliously; we have made the holy covenant defective. We have caused grief; we have pained father and mother. We have been stiff-necked; we have damaged the channels of bounty. We have been evil; we have been bad to the Heavens and to the creatures. We have destroyed; we have lied; we have destroyed seed for naught and created a destructive force to destroy – my heart, my heart, for their corpses; my innards, my innards for those they killed! Woe to the evildoer, for the recompenses of his hands will be done to him. We have committed abominations; we have gone astray; we have led others astray. And we have turned away from Your commandments and from Your good laws, and we have gained nothing from it. And You are the Righteous One in all [punishment] that has come upon us; for You have acted truthfully and we have acted evilly.

And David blessed Adonoy in the presence of all the assembly; and David said, Blessed are You, Adonoy, God of Israel, our father,⁷³David singles out Jacob because he was the first Patriarch to mention building a house of God (Genesis 28:22), “Then shall this stone which I have set for a pillar be God’s house.”—Radak forever and ever. Yours, Adonoy, is the greatness, the might, the glory the victory and the beauty,⁷⁴David thus renders unto God the greatness God has given him. His might in war, his victories in battle, and the majesty of his kingdom, are all due to God’s providence.—Iyun T’filah for all that is in heaven and on earth [is Yours]; Yours, Adonoy, is the kingdom and You are uplifted, [supreme] over all rulers. The riches and the honor come from You, and You rule over all; in Your hand are power and might, and [it is] in Your hand to bestow greatness and strength upon all. And now, our God, we give thanks to You and praise Your glorious Name.⁷⁵I Chronicles 29:10-13. ⁷⁶The next seven verses are taken from Nehemiah 9:5-11. They are the last words of praise found in Scripture.And they will bless Your glorious Name, [You, who are] exalted above all blessing and praise.

Ezra, the Scribe, said before You, “My God, I am [so] ashamed, and disgraced, that I cannot lift my face to You, my God, for our iniquities have risen over our heads, and our guilt has grown to the heavens.”¹³²Ezra 9:6 “And You are a God of pardon, Gracious, Merciful, Slow to Anger, and abundant in kindness; and [therefore] You did not forsake them.”¹³³Nechemyah 9:17
