Amidah: the Sanctification of God.

(for amidah first post, click here).

Amidah: 3.

The Sanctification of God.

(version to be recited if with a group of ten or more):

Reader: We will sanctify your name in this world just as it is sanctified in the highest heavens, as it is written by Your prophet: "And they call out to one another and say:

Cong: 'Holy holy holy' is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory. [isa. 6:3]

Reader: Those facing them praise God saying:

Cong: "Blessed be the presence of the Lord in His place." [eze. 3:12]

Reader: And in Your holy Words it is written, saying:

Cong: "The Lord reigns forever, Your God, O Zion, throughout all generations." [psalm 146:10]

Reader: Throughout all generations we will declare Your greatness, and to all eternity we will proclaim Your holiness. Your praise, O our God, shall never depart from our mouth, for You are a Great and Holy God and King. Blessed are You, O Lord, the holy God. You are holy, and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily. (selah). Blessed are You, O Lord, the holy God.

(version to be recited when by yourself):

You are holy and Your Name is holy and holy beings praise You every day forever.
