שׁוֹכֵן עַד מָּרוֹם וְקָּדוֹשׁ שְׁמוֹ. וְכָתוּב: רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהוה, לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה. (תהלים לג:א)	祂永存，祂的名尊贵而圣洁。经载： (你）Hashem的义人，欢乐地歌唱， (因为）义人应当歌颂（祂）。
בְּפִי יְשָׁרִים תִּתְהַלָּל וּבְשִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיקִים תִּתְבָּרַךְ וּבִלְשׁוֹן חֲסִידִים תִּתְרוֹמָם וּבְקֶרֶב קְדוֹשִׁים תִּתְקַדָּשׁ	借着虔诚信徒的舌头，你将被颂扬；在圣民中，你将被圣化。借着虔诚信徒的舌头，你将被颂扬；在圣民中，你将被圣化。
