"O God of Israel, who is like Thee in heaven or on earth? Who accomplished deeds and mighty works like Thine? Who is like Thy people Israel which Thou has chosen for Thyself from all the peoples of the lands; the peoples of the saints of the Covenant, instructed in the laws and learned in wisdom...who have heard the voice of Majesty and have seen the Angels of Holiness, whose ear has been unstopped, and who have heard profound things?"
"Thou, O God, has created the expanse of the heavens and the host of heavenly lights, the tasks of the spirits and the dominion of the Holy Ones, the treasury of glory and the canopy of the clouds. Thou art Creator of the earth and of the laws dividing it into desert and grassland; of all that it brings forth and of all its fruits according to their kinds; of the circle of the seas and of the gathering-place of the rivers and of the divisions of the deeps; of the beasts and birds and of the shape of Adam and of the generations of his seed; of the confusion of tongues and of the scattering of the peoples, of the dwelling in clans and of the inheritance of lands; of the sacred seasons and of the cycles of the years and of time everlasting."
"Truly, the battle is Thine!" (The War Rule, Dead Sea Scrolls, X)
