Yehalelukha (All Your Works Shall Praise You)

5th–11th Century

All Your works shall praise You, Adonai our God,

and Your pious ones shall praise, glorify, laud, magnify, recall, exalt, and unify Your name

for the songs of David son of Jesse Your servant.

May Your name be exalted, our King, forever and ever,

and Your remembrance in all generations to eternity.

Praised be You, Adonai,

God, King, who is praised, lauded, glorified, exalted, trustworthy, raised up, sanctified, unified

in the mouths of those above and in the mouths of those below, and in the mouths of all living beings.

King, Faithful God—

Your name and Your renown live and endure to all generations eternally.

Praised be You, Adonai,

who is lauded with a multitude of praises. Amen.
