A Version of the Kedushah from the Land of Israel
And we glorify You, our God [ . . . ]
And we sanctify You, our King [ . . . ]
And to You sanctification rises [ . . . ]
as it is written by Your prophet:
And one would call to the other:
Holy! Holy! Holy!
Adonai of hosts!
His glory fills all the earth (Isaiah 6:3).
And the ’ofanim and the holy creatures opposite them [the seraphim]
say: “Blessed”;
utter praises and say:
Blessed be the glory of Adonai from His place (Ezekiel 3:12).
Twice a day they lovingly say:
From His place He will turn toward the people who proclaim His unity twice every day and twice lovingly say:
And Your people proclaim Your unity every day twice:
Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our God, Adonai is One (Deuteronomy 6:4).
[ . . . ] to be Your God:
I am Adonai Your God (Numbers 15:41).
In a glorious voice they respond and say:
Adonai our Lord, how glorious is Your name throughout the earth! (Psalm 8:10).
Adonai will be king over all the earth,
on that day there shall be one God with one name (Zechariah 14:9).
May You reign in Zion soon in our days,
as it is written in Your holy scriptures:
Adonai will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah! (Psalm 146:10).
