Uva LeTzion — A Redeemer Shall Come to Zion
And a redeemer will come to Zion, And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, Saith the LORD. And as for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
You are holy, enthroned upon the praises of Israel. And one calls to another and says: Holy, holy, holy is Adonai of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory. They receive from one another and say: Holy in the highest heavens, the dwelling of His Presence; holy upon the earth, the work of His power; holy forever and for all eternity is Adonai of hosts—the whole earth is full of His glory.
Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing: Blessed is the glory of Adonai from His place. They lift themselves opposite the seraphim and, facing them, give praise and say: Blessed is the glory of Adonai from the place of His Presence. Adonai shall reign forever and ever. His kingdom is established for all ages, and His sovereignty for every generation.
Blessed is our God, Who created us for His glory, separated us from those who go astray, gave us the Torah of truth, and planted eternal life within us. May He open our hearts through His Torah, place in our hearts love and awe of Him, so that we may do His will and serve Him wholeheartedly. May we not labor in vain or bring forth for confusion.
May it be Your will, Adonai our God and God of our ancestors, that we keep Your statutes in this world and merit to live, see, and inherit goodness and blessing in the days of the Messiah and in the life of the World to Come, so that my soul may sing praises to You and not be silent. Adonai my God, I will thank You forever.
