וּמַלְכוּתוֹ בְרָצוֹן קִבְּלוּ עֲלֵיהֶם משֶׁה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְךָ עָנוּ שִׁירָה בְּשִׂמְחָה רַבָּה וְאָמְרוּ כֻלָּם:
מִי כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם יְהֹוָה מִי כָּמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ נוֹרָא תְהִלֹּת עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא:
מַלְכוּתְךָ רָאוּ בָנֶיךָ בּוֹקֵעַ יָם לִפְנֵי משֶׁה זֶה אֵלִי עָנוּ וְאָמְרוּ:
יְהֹוָה יִמְלֹךְ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד:
וְנֶאֱמַר כִּי־פָדָה יְהֹוָה אֶת יַעֲקֹב וּגְאָלוֹ מִיַּד חָזָק מִמֶּנּוּ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל:
Translation (Lev Shalem)
Willingly accepting God’s sovereignty.
Then Moses, Miriam, and the people Israel joyfully sang to You:
“Who is like You, ADONAI, among the mighty!
Who is like You, adorned in holiness, revered in praise, working wonders!”
Your children recognized Your sovereignty, as You split the sea before Moses. “This is my God,” they responded, and said:
“ADONAI will reign forever and ever.”
And so it is written: “ADONAI has rescued Jacob and redeemed him from the hand of those more powerful than he.”
Barukh atah ADONAI, who redeemed the people Israel.
