We revere and sanctify You on earth as
your name is sanctified in heaven,
as Your prophet Isaiah described:
Each cried out to the other:
“Holy, holy, holy is Adonai Tz’va-ot,
the whole world is filled with God’s glory!”
God’s glory fills the universe. One angelic
chorus asks, “Where is the place of God’s
glory?” Another responds:
“Praised is Adonai’s glory wherever God
dwells.”
From where God dwells, may God turn with
compassion toward the people who twice
each day, evening and morning, lovingly
proclaim God’s oneness, reciting the Sh’ma:
“Hear, O Israel, Adonai is our God,
Adonai is one.”
The Holy One is our God, our creator, our
sovereign, our redeemer. Yet again, God will
in mercy proclaim to us before all that lives:
“I Adonai, am your God.”
As the psalmist sang:
“Adonai will reign forever; your God, O Zion,
from generation to generation, Halleluyah!”
