  1. 1

    אָמַר הַמְחַבֵּר בָּרוּךְ ה׳ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לוֹ יֵאוֹת עִנְיַן הָאֶחָד הָאֲמִתִּי. הַקַּדְמוֹן בִּמְצִיאוּתוֹ הַמַּתְמִיד טוֹבָתוֹ. אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא כָּל הַנִּמְצָאוֹת לְאוֹת עַל אַחְדוּתוֹ. וְיָצַר יְצִירוֹת לְעֵד עַל גְּבוּרָתוֹ. וְהֵחֵל חֲדָשׁוֹת לְהָעִיד עַל חָכְמָתוֹ וְגֹדֶל טוּבוֹ. כְּדִכְתִיב (תהלים קמה) דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ. וּכְתִיב (שם) יוֹדוּךָ ה׳ כָּל מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְבָרֲכוּכָה. כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתְךָ יֹאמֵרוּ וּגְבוּרָתְךָ יְדַבֵּרוּ. לְהוֹדִיעַ לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם גְּבוּרֹתָיו כוּ׳.

    Blessed be the L-ord, G-d of Israel, to Whom true Unity can be fittingly ascribed, whose existence is Eternal, whose beneficence is unceasing, who created all that is found as a sign of His Unity, who formed beings to serve as witnesses of His power and brought new things into existence to testify to His wisdom and great benevolence, as written "one generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts" (Ps. 145:4), and "all Your works shall give thanks to You, O L-ord; and Your saints shall bless You; they shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, etc" (Ps.145:10-12).
