The Throne of Glory Addresses the King
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
King of miracles, King of power,
King of wonders, King of marvels: Your throne hovers yet does not move, ever since You set the peg of the loom which fixes the world's course and its perfection, all these many years and endless generations. Your throne has never set foot on the floor of the seventh heaven, but hovers like a bird and does not move. The proudest of the proud, adorned with crowns, and all the royal living creatures whom You created stand close together beneath Your throne of glory, bearing it with might, strength, and power. They too have never set foot upon the floor of the seventh heaven, but hover like a bird and do not move. Thrice daily Your throne of glory prostrates itself before You and says, 'Zoharariel, Adonai, God of Israel, sit upon me in glory, resplendent King, for Your burden is most dear to me and does not weigh me down.'
