The spirit of all that lives shall praise Thy Name, Lord God, and the breath of all flesh shall ever glorify and exalt Thy remembrance, O our King. From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God, and beside Thee we have no King who redeemeth, saveth, delivereth, protecteth, sustaineth, and pitieth—in all time of trouble and distress, we have no King but Thee. Thou art God of the first and the last: God of all creation, Lord of all generations, who is lauded with all praises, who guideth His world with kindness and His creatures with mercy. For the Lord doth not slumber nor sleep: He awakeneth the sleepers and arouseth the slumberers, maketh thos that are dumb speak, looseneth those that are bound, supporteth those who falter, and raiseth up those that are bowed. To thee alone do we render thanks. Even were our mouths filled with song as is the sea, and out tongues moved with joy like its many waves, and out lips were filled with praise like the expanse of the firmament: even though our eyes shone as the sun and moon, and out hands were outspread like the eagles' wings, and out feet were fleet as the hinds': we should yet fall short of thanking Thee, O Lord God, and God of our Fathers, for one in a thousand of the many thousands and myriads of tenderness which Thou hast bestowest on our fathers and on us.
“Were our mouth as full of song as the sea, and our tongue as full of joyous song as its multitude of waves, and our lips as full of praise as the breadth of the heavens, and our eyes as brilliant as the sun and the moon, and our hands as outspread as the eagles of the sky and our feet as swift as hinds”
