English Translation:
We acknowledge You, for You are the source of life, for us and our ancestors, forever and ever. You are the Rock of our life, the Protector of our salvation for each and every generation. We are thankful to You and sing Your praises; for our lives, which are delivered into Your hands, for our souls, which are under Your auspices, and for Your miraculous activities which are with us daily, and for Your wonders and acts of goodness of every time, evening morning and afternoon. The Good One, for your compassion never ceases. Oh Compassionate One, Your loving kindness never fails. We have hope for You eternally.
