God is the Lord of all creation
Blessed and praised is He by every soul
His greatness and goodness fill the universe
knowledge and wisdom surround Him
He is exalted above the celestial beings
And adorned in glory above the chariot
Purity and justice stand before His throne
Kindness and mercy are in His glorious presence
Good are the luminaries which our God created,
made with knowledge, wisdom and insight
He placed in them energy and power
To have dominion over the world
Full of splendor they radiate brightness;
Beautiful is their brilliance throughout the world
They rejoice in their rising and exult in their setting
performing with reverence the will of their Creator
Glory and honor do they give to His name,
And joyous song to His majestic fame
He called forth the sun, and it shone;
He saw fit to regulate the form of the moon
All the hosts of heaven give Him praise;
All the celestial beings attribute glory and grandeur
