’El barukh gadol de‘ah (The Blessed God, Great in Knowledge)
The blessed God,
great in knowledge,
prepared and made the rays of the sun.
He who is good formed glory for His name,
surrounding His power with radiant stars.
The leaders of His hosts,
the holy ones,
exalt the Almighty,
constantly proclaiming God’s glory and holiness.
Be blessed, Lord our God,
for the magnificence of Your handiwork,
and for the radiant lights You have made.
May they glorify You, Selah!
Translated by Sir Jonathan Sacks.
