2 Blessed be Thou, O Lord, King,
Great and mighty in Thy greatness,
Lord of the whole creation of the heaven,
King of kings and God of the
whole world.
And Thy power and kingship and greatness abide for ever and ever,
And
throughout all generations Thy dominion;
And all the heavens are Thy
throne for ever,
And the whole earth Thy footstool for ever and ever.
3 For Thou hast made and Thou rulest all things,
And nothing is too
hard for Thee,
Wisdom departs not from the place of Thy throne,
Nor
turns away from Thy presence.
And Thou knowest and seest and hearest
everything,
And there is nothing hidden from Thee [for Thou seest
everything].
4 And now the angels of Thy heavens are guilty of trespass,
And upon the flesh of men abideth Thy wrath until the great day of
judgement.
5 And now, O God and Lord and Great King,
I implore and
beseech Thee to fulfil my prayer,
To leave me a posterity on earth,
And not destroy all the flesh of man,
And make the earth without
inhabitant,
So that there should be an eternal destruction.
6 And now,
my Lord, destroy from the earth the flesh which has aroused Thy wrath,
But
the flesh of righteousness and uprightness establish as a plant of the eternal
seed,
And hide not Thy face from the prayer of Thy servant, O Lord.'
