English Translation

Your crown of holiness
is acclaimed by throngs of angels on high
and by Your people assembled below.
His glory pervades the universe;
His ministering angels
inquire of one another:
Where is the place of glory?
From His heavenly abode
may He turn in mercy
to the people who twice daily
proclaim in love the unity of His name,
One is our God;
He is our Father, our Sovereign,
and our Deliverer.
In His mercy He will again make known
in the presence of all the living
that He will be your God.
"I am the Lord your God."
The Lord shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion,
shall be Sovereign to all generations.
Hallelujah.
