1 And I raised my hands in righteousness and blessed the Holy and Great One,⁠a and spoke with the breath of my mouth and with the tongue of flesh, which God has created for the children of men, that they should speak with it, and He gave them breath and a tongue and a mouth to speak with: 2 'Blessed are You, Lord, King, Great and mighty in Your greatness, Lord of the entire creation of heaven, King of kings, and God of the entire world.⁠b And Your power and kingship and greatness endure forever and ever, And through all generations Your dominion; And all the heavens are Your throne forever, And the whole earth Your footstool forever and ever. 3 For You have created and You rule all things, And nothing is too difficult for You,⁠c Wisdom does not depart from the place of Your throne, Nor turns away from Your presence. And You know and see and hear everything, And there is nothing hidden from You, for You see everything. 4 And now the angels of Your heavens are guilty of trespass, And upon the flesh of men rests Your anger until the great day of judgment. 5 And now, God and Lord and Great King, I implore and beg You to answer my prayer, To leave me a lineage on earth, And not destroy all the flesh of man, And make the earth uninhabited, So there would be an eternal desolation. 6 And now, my Lord, remove from the earth the flesh that has aroused Your anger, but let the flesh of righteousness and integrity be established as a plant of the eternal seed, And do not hide Your face from the prayer of Your servant, Lord.'
