Almighty God, YaH,
You spoke and You called on the Earth
from the rising of the sun unto its setting.

From Zion, the epitome of beauty,
God displayed Her presence.
Come, our God, appear briskly;
a consuming fire paves Your way,
your retinue, a lively breeze.

Calling for Heaven above,
calling the Earth below
to attend the judgement of His people,
my kind friends,
who have made a compact with me,
gather with me around the altar.

Let the heavens declare His righteousness,
for God is the God of Judgements. Selah!

Listen, My people as I speak.
Israel, I will bear witness to you;
yes, I am God, your God.
