Thou art God, no God is there but Thee.
Lauded and glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! Thou art
supreme over the realm of being and Thy power pervadeth all created things.
Thou holdest the kingdom of creation within Thy grasp and dost call into being
in conformity with Thy pleasure.
All praise be unto Thee, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by
such souls as are eagerly waiting at Thy gate and by those holy beings who have
attained the court of Thy presence, to cast upon us the glances of Thy tender
compassion and to regard us with the eye of Thy loving providence. Cause our souls to be enkindled with the fire of Thy tender
affection and give us to drink of the living waters of Thy bounty. Keep us
steadfast in the path of Thine ardent love and enable us to abide within the
precincts of Thy holiness. Verily Thou art the Giver, the Most Generous, the
All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
