BARUCH-SHE-AMAR

Blessed is She who spoke and the world became. 

Blessed is She. 

Blessed is She who in the beginning, gave birth. 

Blessed is She who says and performs. 

Blessed is She who declares and fulfills. 

Blessed is She whose womb covers the earth. 

Blessed is She whose womb protects all creatures. 

Blessed is She who nourishes those who are in awe of her. 

Blessed is She who lives forever, and exists eternally. 

Blessed is She who redeems and saves.
Blessed is her name.
