Lyrics: (trans., The Complete Artscroll Siddur)

Refrain: O Creator, master of this world and all worlds, You are the King who reigns over kings - Your powerful and wondrous deeds it is beautiful to declare before you.

Praises shall I prepare morning and evening, to You, O Holy God, Who created all life: holy angels and sons of man, beasts of the field and birds of the sky.

Great are Your deeds and mighty, humbling the haughty and straightening the bent; even if man live thousands of years, he could not fathom the extent of Your powerful deeds.

God to Whom belongs honor and greatness, save Your sheep from the mouth of lions, and bring Your people out of its exile, the people that You chose from all the nations.

To Your Sanctuary return and to the Holy of Holies, the place where spirit and soul will rejoice and utter songs and praises - In Jerusalem, city of beauty.
