English

My words that I have put in your mouth shall never leave from your mouth, the mouth of your children, or from the mouth of your grandchildren," said the Lord, "now and forever." You, God, are the holy One, Who sits and listens to the praises of the Children of Israel.

The angels' praises of God

Hebrew

וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל זֶה וְאָמַר:
קָדוֹשׁ | קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ יְיָ צְבָאוֹת,
מְלֹא כָל הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדוֹ. וּמְקַבְּלִין
דֵּין מִן דֵּין וְאָמְרִין: קַדִּישׁ בִּשְׁמֵי
מְרוֹמָא עִלָּאָה בֵּית שְׁכִינְתֵּהּ,
קַדִּישׁ עַל אַרְעָא עוֹבַד גְּבוּרְתֵּהּ,
קַדִּישׁ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא,
יְיָ צְבָאוֹת, מַלְיָא כָל אַרְעָא זִיו
יְקָרֵהּ.

Ve-kara zeh el zeh ve-amar:

English

The angels call out to one another and say, "The Lord, the God of all creations, is holy in the spiritual worlds, holy in the physical world, and holy at all times, forever and ever. The entire world is filled with His glory." The angels receive permission from one another to praise Hashem and they say, "God is holy in the highest, most spiritual heaven, the place where His Divine Presence is. He is holy on the earth, which He made with His strength. He is holy forever and ever. The whole earth is filled with the light of the glory of the Lord, the God of all creations."

Hebrew

וַתִּשָּׂאֵנִי רוּחַ, וָאֶשְׁמַע אַחֲרַי
קוֹל רַעַשׁ גָּדוֹל, בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד
יְיָ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ. וּנְטָלַתְנִי רוּחָא
וּשְׁמָעִית בַּתְרַי קַל זִיעַ סַגִּיא
דִּמְשַׁבְּחִין וְאָמְרִין, בְּרִיךְ יְקָרָא
דַּיְיָ מֵאֲתַר בֵּית שְׁכִינְתֵּהּ.

Va-tissa'eni ruach, va'eshma acharai

d'Adonai me-atar beit shechinteh.

English

The prophet Ezekiel said: A wind lifted me, and I heard behind me a great, roaring sound, saying that the glory of the Lord is blessed from wherever its place may be, even in exile when it is not resting in the Holy Temple. A wind lifted me and I heard behind me a great, roaring sound. It was the sound of those who praise God and say, "The glory of the Lord is blessed from the place where His Divine Presence is."

Hebrew

יְיָ יִמְלֹךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. יְיָ
מַלְכוּתֵהּ קָאֵם לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי
עָלְמַיָּא.

English

The Lord will rule as king forever and ever. The Lord's rulership as king is established and will last forever and ever.

God is kind and merciful

Hebrew

יְיָ אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיִשְׂרָאֵל
אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שָׁמְרָה זֹּאת לְעוֹלָם,
לְיֵצֶר מַחְשְׁבוֹת לְבַב עַמֶּךָ, וְהָכֵן
לְבָבָם אֵלֶיךָ. וְהוּא רַחוּם, יְכַפֵּר
עָוֹן וְלֹא יַשְׁחִית, וְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב
אַפּוֹ, וְלֹא יָעִיר כָּל חֲמָתוֹ. כִּי אַתָּה
אֲדֹנָי טוֹב וְסַלָּח, וְרַב חֶסֶד לְכָל

English

Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our fathers, we ask You to keep this declaration of Your holiness forever as the desire and the intention of the hearts of the Jewish Nation, Your nation. Turn their hearts to You. God is merciful and forgives our sins;

Hebrew

קוֹרְאֶיךָ. צִדְקָתְךָ צֶדֶק לְעוֹלָם,
וְתוֹרָתְךָ אֱמֶת.

Sephardi

kore'echa. Tzidkatekha tzedek le'olam,
vetoratkha emet.

English

He does not destroy us because of them. Many times He turns His anger away from us, and He does not stir up all of His anger. Because You, Lord, are good and forgiving, and You have much kindness for all those who call out to You. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your Torah is truth.

Hebrew

תִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַעֲקֹב, חֶסֶד
לְאַבְרָהָם, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ
לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ מִימֵי קֶדֶם. בָּרוּךְ
אֲדֹנָי, יוֹם יוֹם יַעֲמָס לָנוּ, הָאֵל
יְשׁוּעָתֵנוּ סֶלָה. יְיָ צְבָאוֹת
עִמָּנוּ, מִשְׂגָּב לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב
סֶלָה. יְיָ צְבָאוֹת, אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם
בֹּטֵחַ בָּךְ. יְיָ הוֹשִׁיעָה, הַמֶּלֶךְ
יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ.

English

Show the Children of Jacob the truth of Your promise to make them a great nation. Give kindness to the descendants of Abraham, as You promised to our fathers long ago. The Lord is blessed. Each day He loads us with blessings. He is the God Who is our salvation forever. The Lord, the God of all creations, is always with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold; He will give us strength forever. Lord, God of all creations, fortunate is the person who trusts in You. Save us, Lord; may the King of the universe answer us on the day we call out to Him.

May God open our hearts to His Torah and commandments

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ שֶׁבְּרָאָנוּ
לִכְבוֹדוֹ, וְהִבְדִּילָנוּ מִן הַתּוֹעִים,
וְנָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת,1 וְחַיֵּי
עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ, הוּא יִפְתַּח
לִבֵּנוּ בְּתוֹרָתוֹ, וְיָשֵׂם בְּלִבֵּנוּ
אַהֲבָתוֹ וְיִרְאָתוֹ, וְלַעֲשׂוֹת

English

Blessed is He, our God, Who created us for His glory, separated us from other nations that go astray because they do not have the Torah, gave us the Torah of truth,1 and planted everlasting life within us. May God open our heart to His Torah, and may He put a love and fear of Him in our heart. May He inspire us to do His will and to serve Him whole-heartedly, so that we should not work in vain as punishment for not serving Him properly, nor produce things that will cause panic.

Hebrew

וּבְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ
יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ,
