True and established and accurate and enduring and right and steadfast and beloved and precious and desirable and pleasant and awesome and mighty and correct and accepted and good and beautiful for us are these words for ever and ever? True it is that the everlasting GOD is our ruler; the rock of Jacob is our saving shield. From generation to generation He endures, and is name endures, and his decrees are accurate and his reign and faithfulness endures forever; and his words live and endure, steadfast and desirable, forever and to the ends of time, for our ancestors and for us for us, for our children and for our generations of the progeny of Israel, your servants.
For the first and for the last, these words are good and enduring for ever and ever; truth and faith, a law that will not pass. True that it is you, Adonai our GOD, and our ancestors' ruler; our redeemer; our ancestors redeemer; our creator; our saving rock; our deliverer and our rescuer; Your name is infinite. There is no GOD but you.
You have always been our ancestors help, protecting and saving their children after them in each and every generation. High above the world lies you habitation, and your justice and righteousness reach the ends of the earth. Happy is the one who obeys your commandments, taking your Torah and your words to heart. True it is that You are LORD over your people, and a mighty ruler to battle their battle. True it is that You are the first and You are the last, and other than You we have no other king who redeems and saves.
You redeemed us from Egypt, Adonai our GOD, and You have set us free from the house of Bondage. You killed all their first born and redeemed your first born, and You parted the Red Sea and drowned the insolent and brought the precious across the water, and the water covered up their foes. Not one of them was left. The beloved lauded and praised GOD for this, and the precious offered up hymns, songs and praises, blessings and thanks to You GOD, the living and infinite GOD, high and exalted, great and revered, humbling the proud and raising the humble, freeing the captive and redeeming the meek, helping the poor and answering the people when they cry out to Him for help. All praises to GOD on high, most blessed be He.
Moses and the children of Israel most joyfully answered You in song all of them singing:
Who is like You, adorned in holiness.
Revered in praise, worker of wonders!
At the seashore the redeemed sang a new song to your name. Together they all gave thanks exalting You with these words:
Adonai will reign forever and ever.
Rock of Israel, arise to help Israel, and deliver Judah and Israel as you promised. Our redeemer Lord of Hosts is his name, Israel's holy one. Blessed are You, Adsonai, who redeemed Israel.
