Praise Yah, sun and moon And praise, all you light-filled stars! Praise Yah, Heavens beyond the heavens. Praise Yah, waters beneath the heavens.

Frost, he scatters like sand. He sends hail, like crumbs. No one can stand it when He brings on the cold. Sending his word, he melts them, Blowing warm wind And the waters flow.

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, z”l, included his translation of the linked verse piyyut, “Barukh YHVH (Hashem) L’Olam” in his Siddur Tehillat Hashem Yidaber Pi (2009). To the best of my ability, I have set his English translation side-by-side with the Hebrew verses comprising this centos. I have replaced some anglicizations and removed capitalization for divine pronouns. –Aharon N. Varady

In the daily Shaḥarit (morning) psukei dzemirah service, this centos completes the reading of Psalms 145-150 and precedes the reading of Vayivarekh David” (1 Chronicles 29:10-13).
