Thanks Raum, great prayer! I will definitely incorporate it to my NAP.
I recognize this as a morning Shabbat song/prayer.
I want to respectfully include it as a straight up and literal translation, but I'm certain that every word and letter has several layers of meaning inside it in the original hebrew. Nonetheless I think that with the right intention, no matter if it is hebrew or english, the Universe will conspire accordingly as it has done with all the contributors of this thread.
It does mention all sephirots - the luminaries! Thanks again... I will check your other posts, I know I'll find gold nuggets!http://studioarcanis.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=28&t=6142#
GOD IS LORD OVER ALL CREATION
G-d is the Lord of all creation
Blessed and praised is he by every soul
His greatness and goodness fill the universe
knowledge and wisdom surround him
He is exalted above the celestial beings
And adorned in glory above the chariot
Purity and justice stand before his throne
Kindness and mercy are in his glorious presence
Good are the luminaries which our G-d created,
made with knowledge, wisdom and insight
He placed in them energy and power
To have dominion over the world
Full of splendor they radiate brightness;
Beautiful is their brilliance throughout the world
They rejoice in their rising and exult in their setting
performing with reverence the will of their Creator
Glory and honor do they give to his name,
And joyous song to his majestic fame
He called forth the sun, and it shone;
He saw fit to regulate the form of the moon
All the hosts of heaven give him praise;
All the celestial beings attribute glory and grandeur
