It is [incumbent] upon us to praise the L·rd of all. To bestow Greatness to the Molder of creation, for He did not make us as the nations of the lands, & he did not establish us like the families of the earth, for He did not assign our portion as theirs, & our lot like all the multitudes - for they bow to vanity & emptiness & pray to a god that saves not. And we bow before the King, the King of all Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He, Who spreads out the heavens & creates the foundation of the earth. And the seat of His precious abode is in Heaven above & the divine presence of his power, is in the highest heights. He is our G·d, & there is no other. Our G·d is true, & no other is beside Him. Like it is written in the Torah - "And you shall know today, & you shall take it to heart, that it is the L·rd (Hash·m), Who is G·d in the heavens above & upon the earth below. There is no other.”
עַל כֵּן נְקַוֶּה לָךְ, יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ, לִרְאוֹת מְהֵרָה בְּתִפְאֶֽרֶת עֻזָּךְ, לְהַֽעֲבִיר גִּלּוּלִים מִן הָאָֽרֶץ, וְהָֽאֱלִילִים כָּרוֹת יִכָּֽרֵתוּן, לְתַקֵּן עוֹלָם בְּמַלְכוּת שַׁדַּי, וְכָל־בְּנֵי בָשָׂר יִקְרְאוּ בִשְׁמֶֽךָ, לְהַפְנוֹת אֵלֶֽיךָ כָּל־רִשְׁעֵי אָֽרֶץ. יַכִּֽירוּ וְיֵֽדְעוּ כָּל־יֽוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵֽל, כִּי לְךָ תִכְרַע כָּל־בֶּֽרֶךְ, תִּשָּׁבַע כָּל־לָשׁוֹן. לְפָנֶֽיךָ, יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ יִכְרְעוּ וְיִפֹּֽלוּ, וְלִכְבוֹד שִׁמְךָ יְקָר יִתֵּֽנוּ, וִיקַבְּלוּ כֻלָּם אֶת־עֹל מַלְכוּתֶֽךָ, וְתִמְלוֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם מְהֵרָה לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. כִּי הַמַּלְכוּת שֶׁלְּךָ הִיא, וּלְעֽוֹלְמֵי עַד תִּמְלוֹךְ בְּכָבוֹד. כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתָךְ: יְהֹוָ֥ה ׀ יִמְלֹ֖ךְ לְעֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ וְנֶאֱמַר. וְהָיָ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִהְיֶ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶחָ֖ד וּשְׁמ֥וֹ אֶחָֽד׃

Therefor, we will hope to You L·rd, our G·d to see speedily the glory of Your Might - to remove abominable idolatry from the earth & the false gods be utterly terminated, to repair the world with the Kingship of the Al·mighty. And all living flesh will call in Your Name to turn back to You all the wicked of the earth. They will recognize & will know, all the inhabitants of the earth, that to You that every knee shall bow down, & every tongue. Before you they will kneel & bow down & give honor to Your glorious name & they will all accept the yolk of Your Kingship. And Reign upon them speedily forever & ever. For the Kingship, it is Yours. And forevermore reign in glory. Like it is written in your Torah, “The L·rd will reign forever & ever.” And it is said “and it will be the L·rd will Be King upon all of the earth. On that day the L·rd will be One (ie, only He will be worshiped) & His name One.” And in Your Torah, L·rd, Our G·d, it is written saying “Hear Oh Israel, the L·rd is our G·d the L·rd is One.”
