It is our duty to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe the greatness of the One who forms
all creation. For G-d did not make us like the nations of other lands, and did not
make us the same as other families of the Earth. G-d did not place us in the same
situations as others, and our destiny is not the same as anyone else’s. And we
bend our knees, and bow down, and give thanks, before the King, the King of kings,
the Holy One, Blessed is He.
The One who spread out the heavens, and made the foundations of the Earth, and
whose precious dwelling is in the heavens above, and whose powerful Presence is
in the highest heights. He is our G-d, there is none else. Our G-d is truth, and
nothing else compares. As it is written in Your Torah: "And you shall know today,
and take to heart, that HASHEM (ADONAI) is the only G-d, in the heavens above
and on Earth below. There is no other." (Deu 4:39
