To the blessed God they offer melodies. To the King, living and eternal God, they say psalms and proclaim praises. For it is He alone, exalted and holy, who does mighty deeds and creates new things, who is Master of battles and sows righteousness, who makes salvation grow and creates cures, who is revered in praises, the LORD of wonders, who in His goodness, continually renews the work of creation, day after day, as it is said: “[Praise] Him who made the great lights, for His love endures for ever.”
Hebrew
אוֹר חָדָשׁ עַל צִיּוֹן תָּאִיר וְנִזְכֶּה כֻּלָּנוּ בִּמְהֵרָה לְאוֹרוֹ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, יוֹצֵר הַמְּאוֹרוֹת.
