ירא האל, והכר את גמוליו / אשר גומל לבריותיו וטובו, ודע כי לא יהא צריך אליהם, / אבל צורכי יצוריו נמצאים בו, וכי תאמר עלי מה זה בראם, / להודיעם גבורת עוז רהבו.
FEAR God, and appreciate the bounties and kindnesses which He bestows upon His creatures; understand that He does not require their help, while He is able to supply their every want. And shouldst thou inquire and say, "Wherefore did He create them?" It was in order to demonstrate to them the strength and height of His power.
