Seder Avodah, Yom HaKippurim
Prologue: In Praise of G-d
by
Yose ben Yose
I shall proclaim the mighty deeds of God, glorious in power
He is singular and there is no other, Nothing and there is not a second.
After Him there will be nothing; before Him in Heaven there was none.
There was none but He of old, nor shall there be in the end.
Master of thought, God of Deed
When He takes counsel no one is absent
When He commands, no one delays
He speaks and acts, He designs and fulfills
Bearing the world with strength, carrying it with might.
He is celebrated in song by His creatures
From above and from Below He is praised.
The only God on Earth, The Holy One in Heaven,
The Mighty One on high - Water brings Him song,
Paeans from the Deep, adoration from the Luminaries,
Speech from Days, music from Nights
Fire declares His Name, Trees of the Forest joyfully sing,
The animals teach of His terrible might.
