GEVUROT
Thy power endures, Lord, throughout eternity. Thou bestowest
immortal life; thou, whose divine help is boundless.
Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindness, and in thy great
mercy bestowest eternal life on the dead. Lifting the fallen and healing
the sick, setting free the imprisoned, and keeping faith with those
who sleep in the dust, who is like thee, Almighty God, and who even
resembles thee, O King? Thou decreest the end of life and its renewal,
and causest thy divine help to spring forth.
Who is like thee, Father of mercy, who with compassion
remembers with life those whom thou hast created?
Thou art faithful to sustain the departed. Blessed art thou, O Lord,
who can bestow eternal life.

KEDUSHAT HASHEM L'el Orech DinThe Ark is opened
Yea, now to thee who art our King,
To thee we come and homage bring.
To God from whom true judgment flows,
Who probes hearts on Judgment Day;
Who reveals, when judging, what is concealed,
And decides righteously on Judgment Day;
Who probes, when judging, our deepest thoughts,
And is gracious and merciful on Judgment Day;
Who remembers, when judging, the covenant,
And has mercy on thy creatures on Judgment Day;
Who acquits, when judging, those who trust in thee,
And knows all plans on Judgment Day;
Who restrains, when judging, full condemnation,
And is garbed in equity on Judgment Day;
Who ponders, when judging, our iniquities,
And is deeply revered on Judgment Day;
Who forgives, when judging, those whom thy love has carried,
And answers their pleas on Judgment Day;
Who reveals, when judging, thy loving pity,
And beholds all mysteries on Judgment Day;
Who accepts, when judging, those who serve thee,
And pities thy people on Judgment Day;
Who guards, when judging, those who love thee,
And upholds the innocent on Judgment Day;
Yea, now to thee who art our King,
To thee we come and homage bring.
