“give thanks to the lord for he is good . give thanks to the god of gods . give
thanks to the lord of lords . to him who alone does great wonders . for by his
understanding made he heavens and spread out the earth upon the waters . who made
the great light . to the one who remembered us in our lowest state and freed us
from our enemies and gives food to every creature . his love endures forever . ”
