The One who makes a covenant with his people,
Who opens eyes that are blind,
Who releases prisoners from the darkness of their dungeons.
There is none like you, O Lord our God,
And you are worthy of all praise, glory, and honor from every man, woman, and child.
May the greatness of your name be magnified in all nations.
